My Story…
Hi! :) Welcome to my donation page. I’ve volunteered with the Jett Foundation for almost two summers now, and the experience has profoundly changed my outlook. After working with Lucas and the other bright souls in the orange cabin (ages 13–15), I’ve never felt more driven to give back.
Duchenne is a devastating disease that affects so much more than just muscle. It impacts every aspect of life for these boys and their families. Yet, despite the challenges they face, the campers I met remain some of the most witty, energetic, and thoughtful people I know.
They taught me to find gratitude in the things I once took for granted: being sore after a hike because my legs are strong enough to climb, using manners at the table because I can feed myself, having the strength to move furniture, or the breath to speak up, knowing that even the act of breathing and speaking is a gift many of these boys fight for. I, myself, cannot do anything to change their diagnosis, but I can do everything in my power to serve them, as can you.
Thank you for your support.

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.
