The PPMD Advocacy Conference registration is live! Join us March 3-5 in Washington DC to advocate for Duchenne directly with Members of Congress. Our community’s presence in Washington has been critical in helping to move the needle in Duchenne clinical, research, and regulatory priorities. This March, we hope you will join us for several powerful and critical days, including a special event for the Monday of conference that will provide an opportunity to have federal agencies hear our voice as well. It’s a week in which we have the opportunity to make an indelible impact. Please join us!
