How to get involved
Donate
When you donate, you become part of a community on a mission to defeat Duchenne – funding research, accelerating treatments, and changing what’s possible for this generation.
Give monthly
Be part of the journey for just £7 a month
As a regular giving supporter, you’ll receive:
- An inspiring postcard from Alex, sharing what he’s been up to
- A warm welcome into our community – full of laughs, stories, and shared moments
- Special access, surprises, and little treats at our events
Why £7?
Because it’s about the same as a bag of fish and chips… or two coffee-shop cappuccinos.
A small, everyday amount for you – but when given regularly, it helps fund research, support clinical trials, and move us closer to defeating Duchenne for this generation.
Volunteer
Step up. Push yourself. Make a real difference.
Volunteering with Alex’s Wish is about getting involved in a way that works for you – whether that’s taking on an experience of a lifetime through one of our ‘Push Yourself’ challenges to raise vital funds.
And if taking on a challenge isn’t for you, that’s absolutely fine. Helping out at events, spreading the word on social media, or supporting us behind the scenes all make a huge difference.
Every hour you give helps raise awareness, fund vital research, and move us closer to better treatments – and ultimately a cure – for children and young adults living with Duchenne.
You’ll be joining a passionate, welcoming community that believes small actions really do add up to big change.

School Fundraise
We love working with primary schools to deliver simple, fun, age-appropriate fundraising activities that support local community engagement.
We provide clear, child-friendly communications and flexible ideas that are easy to run within a school setting.
Schools tell us pupils enjoy taking part, feel proud to support an important cause, and gain a positive understanding of helping others.
If you’d like to get your school involved or explore ideas that work for your pupils, we’d love to hear from you.
