For the past eight years, Jett Foundation has hosted this annual event of celebration and remembrance of our Duchenne community. Stay tuned for details on our 9th annual WDAD on September 7, 2024, when we will connect with our community throughout the day.

About WDAD

In honor of this annual worldwide day dedicated to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, we bring individuals and families, Duchenne experts, and industry partners together to recognize different aspects of Duchenne life, acknowledge the challenges still to come, and show that we are Stronger than Duchenne. 

Breaking Barriers in Duchenne

In 2023, members of our community shared how they are breaking barriers in life, their career, relationships, and more.
