💚It is September!! Muscular Dystrophy Awareness month! 💚 We wear green! What is MD - Muscular dystrophies are a group of muscle diseases caused by mutations in a person’s genes. Over time, muscle weakness decreases mobility, making everyday tasks difficult. There are many kinds of muscular dystrophy, each affecting specific muscle groups, with signs and symptoms appearing at different ages, and varying in severity. link here for more information. https://lnkd.in/e2ea9G3T
September will mark MDA’s kick-off of National #MuscularDystrophyAwareness Month, to raise awareness and critical funds for families across the nation who are living with #MuscularDystrophy, #ALS, and related #neuromuscular diseases. Hundreds of events throughout the month support our mission to empower the neuromuscular disease community to live longer, more independent lives through advocacy, strategic funding to accelerate research and support for over 150 MDA Care Centers. We are also pleased to announce Board approval for $8.4 million in research grants to be announced in September. Donations to support our mission during the #30DaysOfStrength campaign may be made at MDA.org/30days Learn more:
