Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common fatal pediatric disorder. This progressive neuromuscular disorder leads to a loss of motor, pulmonary, and cardiac function, ultimately resulting in premature death.
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.
Community Programs & Resources:
Camp Promise: A free, one-week summer camp offered at seven (7) locations nationwide 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 assists families with small accessibility or medical items not covered by insurance or that are too expensive.
Family Workshops: A national educational workshop series that allows families to learn about Duchenne care, resources, and treatments from local clinicians, experts, and industry partners.
National Community Ambassador Program: This program offers parents, friends, and family members of individuals impacted by Duchenne the opportunity to share resources, educate within their community, and facilitate local support groups and events for parents and families.
Falmouth Road Race athletes activate their muscles in support of Jett Foundation's work, bringing impactful awareness & raising funds for our community.
