World Duchenne Awareness Day 2024

With just less than a month to go until World Duchenne Awareness Day, what can you do to Raise Your Voice for Duchenne?

World Duchenne Awareness Day unites the global Duchenne community annually for advocacy, action and change. This year is a monumental milestone as it marks the first year that the United Nations have officially designated 7th September as World Duchenne Awareness Day.

Duchenne Awareness Day is held on the 7th September each year to honour the 79 exons on the dystrophin gene. An error on any one of these exons causes Duchenne. 

We need YOU to come together alongside us to fight for the voices of everyone living with Duchenne.

What can YOU do this World Duchenne Awareness Day?
