Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Dear
Friends:
In
1995 I was blessed with my twin boys Troy and Andrew who were
diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Duchenne is a Muscular
Dystrophy" is a broad term used to label gene-related disorders
that affect muscles throughout the body. There are more than 20
specific genetic disorders considered to be Muscular Dystrophy. Most
have the same result (a reduction in muscle strength due to
weakening and deterioration) but these various types of Muscular
Dystrophies are specific to different muscles in the body and
different rates of degeneration.
All forms of Muscular Dystrophy are considered rare, but Duchenne
Muscular Dystrophy is perhaps the most common of the Muscular
Dystrophies in existence. Since it was first identified in the
1860's, DMD affects approximately 1 boy in every 3,000. Duchenne
Muscular Dystrophy is terminal and needs to be treated and
cured. Please help us beat this dreaded disease and help us treat
and cure our sons!
