OUR CAUSE:

• Duchenne San Diego (formerly known as Kick for a Cure, Inc) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization that is dedicated to raising funds to help make a difference in the lives of children in San Diego and beyond who live with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
• DMD is the most common lethal genetic childhood disorder.
• "DBMD affects approximately 1 out of every 3,500 to 5,000 boys. With over 4 million births in the United States each year, about 400 to 600 boys with DBMD are born every year. Girls rarely have DBMD."*
• "The disease is usually fatal in the teens or early 20s, most commonly due to severe respiratory or heart problems, or both." *
• To date, there is NO CURE for DMD!
