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. 

In 2026, we will host both in-person and virtual awareness for World Duchenne Awareness Month. We are excited to connect with you this September!

Pre-registration is now available with more details to come on this year’s shirt design, box item preview, event speakers, and more.
