September is Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month!
Muscular dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of diseases that cause progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass. Symptoms and severity can vary, with some individuals experiencing signs in childhood and others later in life. While there is currently no cure for MD, increased awareness and understanding can help foster support for those affected.
This month, we stand alongside the individuals, families, caregivers, and communities impacted by muscular dystrophy. Together, we can promote compassion, encouragement, and hope for everyone navigating this journey.
