Little Hercules Foundation works to improve the lives of those diagnosed with – and families facing – Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy through Advocacy, Awareness, Family Assistance and Funding Research. To date, we've provided funding assistance for nine research projects aiming to improve/treat Duchenne, a fatal neuromuscular disease with no cure; provided over $17,000 worth of medical equipment to Duchenne patients; and participated in our community's efforts to raise our voices in Washington on issues that directly impact the Duchenne community.
