Master Muscle Marathon for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular Dystrophies are a group of 30-plus genetic disorders causing degeneration and progressive weakness of skeletal muscles responsible for movement. Some forms of muscular dystrophy appear in early childhood while some may not be evident until youth or middle age. The dystrophies vary in terms of age of onset, pattern of inheritance, rate of degeneration and progress of muscle weakness. Dystrophy Annihilation Trust, created a memorable marathon to support Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and raise awareness about the condition.
