**[Harrison’s Fund](https://harrisonsfund.com/) is once again asking people to ‘
have a very moany Christmas’ with its annual Bah Humbug campaign.**

The campaign raises funds for research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by asking
people to shame their Scrooge-like friends, family and work colleagues into donating
to the charity every time they start moaning about Christmas with a host of online
festive activities also planned via social media.

As well as raising funds, the campaign asks people to spare a thought for those 
children who can’t enjoy simple Christmas tasks like hanging a decoration on the
tree because they suffer from a life threatening illness like Duchenne.

Alex Smith, charity founder and Harrison’s father, said:

> “We’re all guilty of having a bit of a moan at Christmas but for boys with Duchenne
> the reality of what Christmas means is tough. So next time you catch yourself 
> grumbling about gift lists or whining about wrapping paper, spare a thought for
> Harrison and the boys like him and get involved in our campaign.”

The concept came from creative company, [Field Day](http://www.fielddaylondon.com/),
which provides pro bono support to the charity.
