You may allocate your gift to one of our five subtype funds, as well as family funds dedicated to a specific subtype. Donations to these funds help drive our mission agenda, including research grant funding, attending scientific meetings & conferences, and relationship building with researchers, clinicians, and industry. Additionally, a portion of these funds support global programming.

As anyone living with CMD knows, hope is tenacious.

In 2008, Cure CMD was founded to fulfill a crucial unmet need for those living with congenital muscular dystrophy. There was very little research, no care guidelines, and no support for families doing everything they could to ensure a happy and engaged life for their affected loved ones.

Today, we've funded more than $4M in research across 70 projects, assembling some of the brightest scientific minds from around the world to identify treatments for CMD. We provide educational resources and support to families navigating this journey, to ensure they have every chance for a successful future. And most importantly, the voice of the affected community is at the heart of everything we do.
