What Does a US State Advocacy Captain Do?
As a US State Advocacy Captain, you’ll be part of a nationwide network of MDF volunteers who lead advocacy efforts in their states. You’ll:
- Lead efforts to raise awareness about the challenges of living with DM.
- Coordinate congressional meetings to advocate for DM research funding.
- Discuss progress and help strengthen the movement for more funding.
MDF Advocates Make a Difference
For the past seven years, with the support of MDF advocates like you, the US Congress has made DM eligible for research funding through the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP). This has led to over $24 million in new funding, bringing us closer to the first FDA-approved treatments for DM. But we need your help to push for an additional $10 million in dedicated DM research funding.
