Our mission is to create and maintain a community support system to help enhance the life experience of those living with neuromuscular disease.

06/23/2026

Safe and reliable transportation can make a life-changing difference for families living with neuromuscular diseases. Through our accessibility grant program, Friends Foundation of the Carolinas has helped provide approximately 20 wheelchair-accessible van grants in just three years.

These grants help families travel more safely, confidently, and comfortably, whether it’s getting to medical appointments, school activities, family events, or everyday outings.

We are grateful to every donor and supporter who helps make these resources possible for local families across our community.

Friendly reminder that Victory Junction Camp registration opens July 1. Now is a good time to review vaccination requirements and gather any necessary paperwork so you’re ready when registration goes live.

Victory Junction offers a full weekend experience from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon at their campus in Randleman, NC.

To qualify, you or a family member must have an eligible diagnosis and reside in Mecklenburg, Union, Stanly, Cabarrus, Rowan, Iredell, Catawba, Lincoln, Gaston, Cleveland, York, Chester, or Lancaster County. Registration is first-come, first-served, and spots tend to fill quickly, so completing your application promptly is important.

We’re here to support our families as you prepare for another season of connection, encouragement, and shared experiences.

“Thank you so much! We are so blessed to be a part of Friends Foundation! Our kids have made such good friends, and it is so nice to normalize seeing multitudes of wheels rolling around! Chris and I appreciate being able to talk with others and see what our journey may look like as Bailey grows. The “I’ve been there” is better than just about anything we could be gifted.”
- The Toney Family

This story reflects the strength of our families and the power of community support. Together, we are expanding access, opportunity, and connection for people living with neuromuscular disease.

“It has been an amazing experience being part of Friends Foundation. Being able to connect with other families facing the same challenges as us has been a game changer. The events have been wonderful and fun. We absolutely love it. We are so thankful for Lisa, Todd, and the whole entire Friends Foundation group. Our van broke down last summer and we received a grant for a new van and it has made life so much easier and taken a lot of our worry away. Mike and Bobby at Ilderton made the process so easy and were very attentive to what we needed.” -The Blanks Family

Support from our community helps families like the Blanks access vital resources while staying connected to one another. We are grateful to walk alongside the families we serve every step of the way.
