Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD)

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal hereditary illness that gradually robs patients of their muscle power. Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), founded in 1994, fights every battle to put an end to Duchenne by calling for the highest quality of care and making certain that every family has access to skilled healthcare practitioners, cutting-edge treatments and a network of support.

The organization makes significant investments in therapy for this generation of Duchenne patients as well as research that will help future generations. The lobbying efforts of PPMD have resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in funding and five FDA approvals.
