About the 100-Step Challenge

What is the 100-Step Challenge?

Many men affected by Kennedy’s Disease can’t walk 100 steps without assistance. 

The 100-Step Challenge is an impactful way to raise awareness and funds for Kennedy’s Disease.

Whether you take 100 steps, roll 100 feet, or complete 100 movements in your own way, your participation helps shine a light on those living with Kennedy’s Disease and brings us one step closer to a cure.

Why 100 Steps?

For those with Kennedy’s Disease, even taking a few steps can be a challenge. This fundraising campaign represents the resilience of those living with KD and symbolizes the steps we’re taking toward better treatment, support, and ultimately, a cure.
