Duchenne is a devastating muscle disease.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy, occurring in approximately 1:5,000 male births. Those affected with DMD lose their ability to walk, feed themselves, breathe independently and succumb to heart failure.
But there’s hope through new pharmacological and gene-based therapies. You can help make a difference in finding a cure.
Message from Duchenne mom, Debra Miller
Founder & CEO of CureDuchenne
Receiving the diagnosis for Duchenne was the scariest time of my life and I know all about the emotions you are feeling. Equipping yourself with the knowledge you need to get the best care for your child is the best thing you can do. Connecting with other families going through the same thing can also be incredibly helpful.
Once I had the confidence that I was going down the right path of care for my son, I founded the nonprofit CureDuchenne and dedicated my life to raising funds to find a cure and to helping other families navigate care and clinical trials. Consider all of us at CureDuchenne as your team that is striving to make the future better for your child. Schedule a call with our experts HERE.
