The state of the foundation is strong
The Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation was founded by families with DM seeking to help one another and to find a cure. Every day, we focus on helping families living with myotonic dystrophy by delivering comprehensive support resources, and driving research to accelerate the discovery of DM therapies. You make this work possible, and we want you to know just how much impact you have helped to create.
