NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CureDuchenne, the leading global nonprofit focused on funding and finding a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is rolling out a comprehensive suite of online resources for the Duchenne community.

This suite of resources is aimed at engaging the community to maintain continuity of care and community building in the current times of global health uncertainty:

While the global coronavirus pandemic is experienced differently by everyone and most are confined to stay in their homes, the effect on individuals with Duchenne, their families and caregivers, carries greater weight due to the health complexities that Duchenne presents. Confinement requires new ways for families and caregivers to get access to resources they need and creativity to put those things at their fingertips.

There is no better way to fight rare diseases than by building a community, and these online resources allow us to impact our community in ways we never thought possible said Debra Miller, Founder and CEO, CureDuchenne. Once the current health conditions surrounding coronavirus pass, our boys and young men will still be here fighting Duchenne. We are committed to being right here with them, fighting, and providing innovative ways to support what the community needs, Miller added.
