Our purpose
Making sure no child with DMD is ever forgotten.
Every child should have access to the best possible treatment, no matter their family's financial situation or the country they live in.
We advocate for affordable medicines, faster treatment approvals, transparent clinical trial results, and equal access to life-changing therapies. We challenge barriers, question the status quo, and bring together families, researchers and advocates from around the world. Our mission is simple: turn scientific progress into real hope, meaningful opportunities and better lives for everyone living with Duchenne.
What we are working to change
Three things we are working to change
A family facing DMD is up against more than the disease: medicines they cannot get, bills they cannot pay, and a loneliness few people see. These three things are where our work begins.
Access to treatment
In many countries, treatment for DMD is simply not available. Families are forced to travel abroad to find care for their child, and the cost of that travel is overwhelming.
Treatment should not depend on where a child is born.
Lowering the cost of treatment
Treatment for DMD is extremely expensive, far beyond what ordinary families can afford. Almost no family can carry these costs on its own.
The price of a drug should not be the barrier to a child's life.
Raising awareness
We do not want to lose a single child to this disease. If you would like to help us find a way to change that, follow us and help more people see these children.
Being seen is the first step toward change.
