The National Challenge is a show of strength in the fight against Duchenne. Walk, run, roll, or find your own way to move from home to raise funds and awareness for Duchenne!
We encourage you to rally your friends, family, and neighbors. Get a team together in your community to host your own movement-filled event on the weekend of our National Challenge. This could be a 5k, group walk, bike ride, spin studio, or more.
Each participant/group will receive a National Challenge Cheer Kit that includes finish line tape, a custom race bib, cowbells and pom poms. You must sign up by May 1, 2023 to be guaranteed a shirt and cheer kit.
Below you will find National Challenge and Jett Foundation tools to share on social media or with friends and family as you move for Duchenne. Be sure to tag Jett Foundation when posting on social media!
Sample post to pair with graphic and your fundraising page link: “I am participating in Jett Foundation’s National Challenge to help raise funds and awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy! Please consider donating to my fundraising page and sharing this post to support Jett Foundation’s programs and resources that assist families impacted by Duchenne. #JettChallenge #TeamJett.”
Jett Foundation empowers people and families impacted by Duchenne muscular dystrophy through the development of transformative programming, educational opportunities, and ongoing support for every stage of a Duchenne journey.
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.
