Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder causing progressive muscle degeneration & weakness.

Symptoms typically begin in early childhood and include difficulty walking, running & jumping, frequent falls, and trouble climbing stairs. As the disease progresses, it can ultimately affect breathing and heart function.

Saturday’s first-ever World Duchenne Awareness Day stresses the importance of advocating for the rights, inclusion and well-being of people living with this condition.
