Why MD?

Why should we care?

MD is a disease that affects over 250,000 people in the United States per year. 1 in every 3,500 males are diagnosed each year at birth. MD does not only affect males. It affects women, children, husbands, wives, parents, friends. Our communities are deeply impacted by this disease. There is so much that most people don't know. We want to help you navigate around this topic easily so that you are able to understand what MD really is.
