Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy

Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding research and providing support for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue. DMD primarily affects boys, leading to difficulties with mobility, breathing, and heart function over time. PPMD advocates for improved treatments, greater access to care, and a future without Duchenne, aiming to accelerate scientific advances through collaboration and education. Their goal is to improve quality of life and ultimately find a cure for this lifelong condition.
