One in 5000 newborn boys in the world is affected by a rare and fatal disease: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Seems like a small group, but the 250.000 patients around the globe think big and have big dreams. Duchenne Parents have set up organizations in their countries, and all of them work day by day to guarantee access to care, to improve research, to educate patients and families.
September 7 is World Duchenne Awareness Day. Clays Mill students in Ms. Laughorn/Mrs. McElroy's class received red balloons to raise awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy around the globe.
All schools and offices will be closed on Monday, September 4, 2023 in observance of Labor Day.
