September 7 is World Duchenne Awareness Day. On this day we join the international Duchenne community to raise the profile and awareness of the condition. This year’s special theme is ‘Adult Life & Duchenne’.
On September 7, the World Duchenne Organization will be hosting an online event. During this event, experts share their stories and experiences surrounding Duchenne and adult life. With this, we aim to inspire and empower young adults with Duchenne and their families to think and plan for the future.
