WORLD DUCHENNE AWARENESS DAY
Saturday, September 7, 2019
11:30–1:30 PM
Embassy Suites by Hilton, Waltham, MA
Registration Deadline: August 29, 2019
Jett Foundation hosts this annual event of celebration and remembrance in the Boston area, the epicenter for rare disease research. In recognition of this annual worldwide day dedicated to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, we bring local patients and families, Duchenne experts, and industry partners together under one roof to celebrate advances made in Duchenne research, and to acknowledge the challenges still to come.
This year, as we come together to demonstrate that we are stronger than Duchenne, we will be welcoming and cheering on the Gals for Cal, as they prepare to race the next day in the Hopkinton Title 9 Triathlon. Family and friends are welcome to attend.
