Our Commitment
Our Mission
Our mission is to raise funds for the best global research efforts to find cures for every type of Muscular Dystrophy and to put an end to the terrible suffering of hundreds of thousands of children. We collect as much data as possible on different children with different types of muscular dystrophy and share the data with doctors and scientists around the world to expedite finding and delivering a cure.
Our Goal
Our goal is to cure every type of muscular dystrophy by funding cutting edge technologies around the world, and to accelerate the processes of finding the cure through the collective knowledge of scientists, doctors and other professionals that are willing to join our cause. In order to find a cure quickly without being hampered by political and big-corporation red tape, we aim to raise funds, knowledge, and human capital on a global scale.
Marching for a Cure: Our Anthem of Hope.
