Our Mission
Defeat Duchenne Canada is the country’s only national charity dedicated to ending Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Our goal is to provide leadership in research, advocacy and support to ensure our boys and young men can live long and active lives. While these fundamental elements of our organization may sound simple enough, they are wrought with the immense complexity of battling a disease that, thus far, does not have a cure. Our organization stands for hope, and it stands up for the people who are affected by the devastating symptoms of Duchenne every single day. We are a community of families, advocates, donors, researchers and care practitioners. Together, we are tackling all aspects of the Duchenne diagnosis – from the psychosocial effects through pursuing enhancements in research and treatment. Our goal of a cure is lofty, but the boys and young men we are fighting for are worth it. We are happy you are here to learn more about our organization and the people whose lives you can change by believing in a world without Duchenne.
