Each July, MDF hosts intentional movement based programming to encourage the DM community to get active, and keep moving! See how you get involved this July!
Movement can improve both the physical and mental well-being of people living with myotonic dystrophy. Movement can be as variable as the members of the myotonic dystrophy community, and can include a variety of activities like walking, biking, swimming, yoga, dance, sports, and more!
Find resources from the foundation on how you can get active!
Community is one of the keys to motivating ourselves to move. Connect with other members of the DM community through support groups and other support programs.
Raise critically needed funds for DM research and care! The Miles for Myotonic Dystrophy Toolkit includes everything you need to host a 2-mile walk/roll (or a distance of your choice) in support of the foundation.
Learn more about the science behind exercising with myotonic dystrophy and the resources and strategies available for building and maintaining a life in motion.
This guide was developed for those living with DM and includes information on the benefits of exercise for DM, recommendations on aerobic activity, types of exercise, monitoring exercise, exercise strategies and finding motivation.
View the event calendar on our website to get more details on upcoming webinars, support group meetings, conferences, and more from the foundation.
Stay up to date during DM in Motion Awareness month in July! We'll send you upcoming events, resources, and other programs you can participate in.
What started as an idea for MDF activewear by community member Luke Bolt and his family has evolved into the Myotonic Dystrophy In Motion Movement! A new MDF care initiative to unify, inspire, and encourage the international DM community to start moving!
After the incredible outpouring of support and interest in his MDF Bike Jersey at the 40th Annual Seattle to Portland Bike Ride, community member Luke Bolt sought to keep up the momentum.
