Cure. Care. Community.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a devastating muscle disease in children. It affects roughly 1 in 5,000 male births and is 100% fatal. But it doesn’t have to be.

For 20 years, we have funded groundbreaking research, early diagnosis, and treatment access and pioneered education and support programs to improve care. In fact, since our inception, life expectancy for individuals living

with Duchenne has increased by 10 years. But that’s not enough— we won’t stop until there is a treatment for every person with Duchenne.

For the first time, there is hope for this destructive disease affecting thousands of children and their families. You can advance the care, treatment and cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
