September is Duchenne Action Month!
Join the fight to End Duchenne this September! Duchenne Action
Month is the perfect opportunity for our community to come together

fight to End Duchenne which has impacted one of our very own special
Watchung families. Jaylen is a student at Bayberry Elementary School.

Why September?
With the growing recognition of World Duchenne Awareness Day on
September 7, Congress returning to work after summer recess, our kids
heading back to school and the need to reach out to teachers and
administrators about Duchenne, September is the perfect month to take
action to raise awareness and crucial funds to support the fight to end
Duchenne.
Ways you can join the fight this September

Cream Social at 6:30PM on Friday, September 13, 2019 and
