National Awareness Day Campaign
MDI Chocolates
MDIs first “Have a Heart” National Awareness Day Campaign took place on Valentine’s Day in 2001 and has been growing from strength to strength ever since.
The idea behind this campaign is twofold. Firstly, to raise much needed funds to help enhance the services which MDI provide for its members and secondly, but equally as important, to spread awareness about the condition muscular dystrophy and the services which MDI provide.
Since its conception, this campaign has raised thousands of euro each year through the sale of two handmade heart shaped chocolates in attractive presentation boxes retailing at only €2. These chocolates were sold in various offices and retail outlets nationwide and by members and friends of MDI.
In 2010 as an additional means of raising funds through this campaign, we also introduced heart shaped tea light scented candles for €3.00 each, which also proved to be very popular.
