about this rare and devastating disease.

Yes, you can take action!

Raising awareness about Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is essential. You have an indispensable role to play in raising public awareness around issues that affect our loved ones afflicted with DMD!

Sensitize key players in Quebec and across Canada, including your provincial and national MPs. A key element in your advocacy efforts is to share knowledge about new treatments (currently not available), so that they may become available quickly to children and young adults with DMD.

3 ways to take action

1 Become aware of your genetic profile.

Are you eligible for a new therapy for DMD – one that targets a specific genetic change or mutation in your DNA?
