About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the disease you could help cure. The question is, can we do it in time to save Charley and others in this generation? Duchenne is the most common fatal genetic disease to strike children around the world. Kids with DMD cannot produce dystrophin, a protein necessary for muscle strength and function. As a result, every skeletal muscle in the body deteriorates. To date, there is no approved treatment or cure.
BUT…scientists discovered what causes Duchenne back in 1987, and finally the stars have aligned for the disease to be defeated. Several drug companies and investors are putting resources toward developing new treatments. Entrepreneurs and scientists are coming up with better ways to attack the pathology. Nonprofit foundations are helping to smooth the road and finance the best research. Momentum has never been more powerful. Now is our time.
