Why we use the bow tie
We use the image of a bow tie in our annual campaign because while tying one appears as though it should be simple, in fact it requires considerable skill and most people struggle to tie one. Many of our members are faced challenges like this when attempting to undertake everyday tasks which most people consider to be simple and straightforward.
We hope you can be a part of the 2012 bow tie appeal
The bow tie campaign can’t be a success without your help so please click here for the bow tie form or email bowtie@mda.org.nz and show us how you can help.
All money raised for your local MDA branch will go directly to your local branch so they can continue to be there for MDA members living with neuromuscular Conditions
