Saturday, September 7, 2024
For the past eight years, Jett Foundation has hosted this annual event of celebration and remembrance of our Duchenne community. Stay tuned for details on our 9th annual WDAD on September 7, 2024, when we will connect with our community throughout the day.
In honor of this annual worldwide day dedicated to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, we bring individuals and families, Duchenne experts, and industry partners together to recognize different aspects of Duchenne life, acknowledge the challenges still to come, and show that we are Stronger than Duchenne.Â
In the past, we’ve hosted in-person events in the Boston area or virtual events. This year, we’re excited to do both! This will allow us to spread awareness about Duchenne further across the country and even internationally.
In 2023, members of our community shared how they are breaking barriers in life, their career, relationships, and more.
Details and registration coming soon for our in-person luncheon and virtual opportunities!
