Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder that causes a loss of motor, pulmonary, and cardiac function, and ultimately, premature death. It is the most common fatal pediatric disorder.

Jett Foundation empowers people and families impacted by Duchenne muscular dystrophy through the development of transformative programming, educational opportunities, and ongoing support for every stage of a Duchenne journey.

Team Jett events, such as the Falmouth Road Race, encourage families and friends to activate their muscles in support of Jett Foundation and the work we do to provide enriching programs and resources for individuals and families impacted by Duchenne. 

Community Programs & Resources: 

• Camp Promise: a free week of summer camp at seven (7) locations across the country for youth and young adults with rare neuromuscular disorders.
• Jett Giving Fund: a vital assistance program with three branches: The Accessible Vehicle Fund helps families obtain safe, accessible transportation; The Emergency Fund provides grants to families facing unexpected, emergency situations; & the Equipment Assistance Fund helps families with small accessibility or medical items that are either not covered by insurance or too expensive. 
• Family Workshops: a national educational workshop series for families to learn about Duchenne care, resources, and treatments from local clinicians, experts, and industry partners.
• National Community Ambassador program: an opportunity for parents, friends, and family members of individuals impacted by Duchenne to share resources and educate within their community. Ambassadors also facilitate local support groups and events for parents and families.
