What is it really like to grow up with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy? In this episode of PPMD’s Livestream with the PAAC, “A Day in the Life,” PAAC members will share personal reflections on childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, including navigating school, gaining independence, building support systems, and adapting to life with a progressive condition. From receiving a first power wheelchair to discovering new opportunities and purpose as adults, panelists offer honest insights, practical advice, and encouragement for the next generation.
Join us for a candid conversation about resilience, community, and what it means to live a full life with Duchenne or Becker. We will also discuss how they are helping shape the future of the muscular dystrophy community and the work they will be leading at PPMD’s Annual Conference in Orlando.
This is all about swapping real-life tips and learning from people who’ve been there. Come hang out, ask questions, and pick up a few things you definitely won’t find on Google: LIVESTREAM WITH THE PAAC!
*The livestream will appear directly on PPMD’s Facebook Page when we go live at 1:00 PM ET on June 18, 2026.*
