Miles for Matthew

Matthew is a true champion for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research. Our high school senior has been in 9 studies and clinical trials that we hope will lead to a brighter future for all boys with Duchenne. Miles for Matthew was created to raise awareness and funds for DMD research but it also honors Matthew's bravery and selflessness. He is currently in year 5 of a gene therapy trial and thanks to all you champions out there, we are confident that he will have healthy future.  We would love for you to join us in the fight for the future of all boys with Duchenne.

Learn more about PPMD and the critical role they play in educating our communities, advocating on our boys' behalf and funding research that will one day End Duchenne.

All participants who raise $250 or more for PPMD will be placed in a drawing to run Disney in January 2024.
