Families are at the heart of MDA's mission. A caring and concerned group of families started MDA in 1950, and they continue to relentlessly pursue their promise to free families from the life-threatening effects of muscular dystrophy and muscle-debilitating diseases today.

MDA uses every dollar we raise wisely to ensure it has the greatest impact in the fight to end muscular dystrophy. They strive to provide you with transparency and clarity around how contributions make a difference and how MDA is supporting your community.
