Action Duchenne Information

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare and complex genetic muscle wasting condition, mainly affecting males. It is one of the most severe muscular dystrophies, with muscle weakness appearing in early childhood between the ages of 2 and 5. Our vision is clear; a world where lives are no longer limited by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We achieve this vision through our vital work; * Funding research for everyone living with Duchenne * World-class support for families * Cutting-edge science education programmes
