About this campaign
Our mission is to raise awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and help improve the lives of those affected by neuromuscular disorders. We want to empower families to embrace adventure by sharing resources and experiences that make exploration accessible and meaningful. Through advocacy, fundraising, and action, we aim to create a world where families impacted by DMD can experience the joy of adventure, while contributing to a future with hope, discovery, and accessibility.
Bennett is 6 years old, full of bravery, and living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
He was diagnosed at just 3 years old, after we began to notice he walked slowly, struggled with stairs, and couldn’t quite keep up with kids his age. Sleepless nights and endless research led me to Duchenne. I brought my concerns to his pediatrician and asked for testing, and the results confirmed what I feared: Bennett was facing DMD. Bennett is missing exons 45–50 in his dystrophin gene. He currently takes daily steroids and receives weekly infusions of Exondys 51, an exon-skipping therapy designed to help his body produce a small amount of dystrophin.
Bennett is strong, brave, and resilient. Duchenne is a part of his story, but it does not define him.
We share his journey to raise awareness, push for research, and fight for a future where kids like Bennett get the chance to live long, wonderful lives, full of adventure.
