About the Parent Project for Muscular Dystrophy Research

The Parent Project for Muscular Dystrophy Research (PPMD) was founded in 1994 by President and CEO Pat Furlong and a group of parents and grandparents who were frustrated by the lack of investment in Duchenne research. When doctors diagnosed her two sons, Christopher and Patrick, with Duchenne in 1984, Pat didn’t accept “there’s no hope and little help” as an answer. Duchenne is the most common fatal, genetic childhood disorder affecting approximately 1 out of every 3,500 boys each year worldwide. It currently has no cure.


Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) fights to end Duchenne. We accelerate research, raise our voices to impact policy, demand optimal care for every single family, and strive to ensure access to approved therapies. For more information, please visit us at www.parentprojectmd.org.
