Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a rare, genetic and terminal disease that effects skeletal muscle development including the heart and lungs. Children with DMD cannot produce a natural protein called dystrophin, which is necessary for muscle strength and function. As a result, muscles in the body deteriorate leaving kids in wheelchairs in their early teens and historically losing their fight in their mid to late 20s (many before the age of 14) due to respiratory and pulmonary failure. There is currently NO FDA approved treatments, but there is hope due to current medical breakthrough therapies that are on the cusp of being tested. This disease is way too awful to ignore!!
With your help and support, we can help find a cure to end DMD. Every little bit counts.
