MDA has made a history of making the impossible possible and has long been at the forefront of neuromuscular disease, leading the way to breakthroughs, advancements, and an impressive number of “firsts”, like spearheading efforts and the grant funding that lead to the discovery of the gene that causes Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the first organization to focus on finding a treatment for ALS, and the first to raise more than $2 billion for neuromuscular disease.
