General information
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is the most common fatal genetic disorder to affect children around the world. Children with DMD cannot produce dystrophin, a protein necessary for muscle strength and function. Although Duchenne is the most common fatal genetic disorder to affect children, there is no cure. Duchenne is a devastating muscle disease in children. Historically, most boys who have it do not survive beyond their mid-20s. Those who do will be wheelchair-bound by age 12 and experience social isolation. The simplest of tasks become difficult, and in the later stages, heart and breathing muscles begin to fail. Nearly 20,000 boys are living with the disease in the United States alone, and over 300,000 worldwide. The disorder knows no cultural, economic or social boundaries. Muscular Dystrophies are a group of genetic disorders characterized by muscle weakness. Duchenne is the most common and severe form, caused by loss of dystrophin, beneath the sarcolemna. The molecular mechanisms of the disease have been extensively investigated since the discovery of the gene in 1986. The good news is that new gene-based therapies have recently emerged with noted advances in using conventional gene replacement strategies, RNA-based technology, and pharmacological approaches. In particular, antisense-mediated exon skipping has shown encouraging results and holds promise for the treatment of dystrophic muscle.

🎃 **For Most Children, Halloween Is About Costumes, Candy, and Creating Memories. For Others, It's About Fighting for Another Tomorrow.** 💚

As children everywhere prepare for Halloween, picking out costumes, carving pumpkins, and dreaming of bags filled with candy, there are families preparing for something very different.

Instead of trick-or-treating, some children are traveling to treatment centers, sitting in hospital rooms, and fighting battles no child should ever have to face.

At **JAR OF HOPE**, we know we can't take away the pain or uncertainty these families face. But we CAN help take away some of the financial burden.

**Today, thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters, JAR OF HOPE is helping another family with travel expenses so their child can receive much-needed treatment.**

One less bill to worry about. One less burden on a parent's shoulders. One more opportunity to focus on what matters most: **their child.**

This is what YOUR donations do. This is what HOPE looks like.

So while the world celebrates Halloween, we're celebrating something just as meaningful: **giving a family a little peace of mind during one of the most difficult journeys of their lives.**

To everyone who supports JAR OF HOPE, THANK YOU. You are making a difference in the lives of children and families who need us most.

💚 **Because every child deserves a childhood, and every family deserves HOPE.**

One diagnosis changed everything.

When Jamesy was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in 2013, his family was faced with words no parent should ever have to hear.

But that moment didn’t end their story — it started a mission.

JAR of Hope was created to fight for Jamesy and every child living with Duchenne by raising awareness, supporting families, and helping fund research toward a cure. 💚

This is our story. And the fight continues.
