World Duchenne Awareness Day

World Duchenne Awareness Day, held on September 6, is a special day when people around the world learn about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a disease that makes muscles weak, making it hard for some children and adults to walk, run, or play. On this day, families, doctors, and friends come together to share stories and teach others about this condition. They wear red balloons and organize fun events to show support. The goal is to help everyone understand DMD better and to encourage finding new ways to help those affected by this condition.
