Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is 100% fatal. There is no cure. Children are losing the ability to walk, eat, draw, play, hug and breathe every day. DMD is not well known and so charities for research into DMD don't get many donations. The disease is utterly and completely devastating; it breaks the hearts of thousands of families worldwide.
