Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy

Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) is the largest nonprofit organization in the United States focused entirely on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. No other organization lobbies the government more aggressively to increase funding for Duchenne. PPMD strives to improve the treatment, quality of life, and long-term outlook for all individuals affected by DMD through research, advocacy, education, and compassion.

In 2005 Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) the nation’s leading Duchenne awareness organization, hatched a plan to recruit runners for the Walt Disney World® Marathon. What began as a simple idea quickly grew into a remarkable group of runners raising funds for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research.
