Raise your voice, speak up, and be heard!

One of the many challenges faced by the Duchenne community is the lack of awareness about this devastating and life-altering disorder. Many people have never heard of Duchenne; some have heard of it, but can’t pronounce it correctly (doo-SHEN). All too often, muscular dystrophy is confused with MS — a totally different disorder. As a result, families and friends impacted by Duchenne become frustrated by the lack of awareness.

Increasing awareness is a powerful way to help in the fight against Duchenne. This is your chance to make your voice heard. Take action in creating awareness for Duchenne and give a voice to all those diagnosed with this disorder.
