Allocate funding specifically to the research and development of a cure for the various forms of Muscular dystrophy.

What Is Muscular Dystrophy?
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder that weakens the muscles that help the body move. People with MD have incorrect or missing information in their genes, which prevents them from making the proteins they need for healthy muscles.
MD weakens muscles over time, so children, teens, and adults who have the disease can gradually lose the ability to do the things most people take for granted, like walking or sitting up. Someone with MD might start having muscle problems as a baby or their symptoms might start later. Some people even develop MD as adults.
Many children with severe forms of Muscular Dystrophy do not live through adulthood. The White House can help by taking a proactive approch to combating this disease at a national level.
