About Duchenne

Duchenne (pronounced dü-shen) muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common fatal pediatric disorder. Duchenne is a progressive neuromuscular disorder that causes a loss of motor, pulmonary, and cardiac function, and ultimately, premature death. Children with Duchenne are born seemingly healthy and decline over time, typically losing their ability to walk around the age of 12 and succumbing to the disease in their early to mid-twenties. Duchenne has no cure.

Duchenne Fast Facts:

• There are approximately 15,000 individuals living with Duchenne in the USA.
  
  
• 2,000 individuals and families impacted by Duchenne and other neuromuscular disorders turn to Jett Foundation annually for knowledge, support, and friendship through programs like Camp Promise, Jett Giving Fund, Educational Workshops and Webinars, Family Support Groups, and more.
  
  
• 52% of Camp Promise participants are ineligible to join other camp experiences due to age restrictions at other camps.
  
  
• Accessible equipment, like accessible vehicles, are often not covered by health insurance, making critical items financially out of reach for many families.
  
  
• Duchenne impacts the whole family. Parents, siblings, relatives, and friends often don’t get the support they need to navigate a diagnosis alongside their loved one.
  
  
• Duchenne still has no cure. But, there is so much hope. Research and advocacy work have helped increase treatment options and show promising results.
