Come join us in our passionate pursuit to fulfill Bradley's Promise - ensuring that no young person with this condition has to endure the challenges and lack of support that Bradley did. As Bradley's mother, I made a solemn vow to him that no other families should suffer through the same lack of support.

Your support can make a difference.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is characterised by muscle degeneration due to the absence of dystrophin, a crucial protein. Typically, this condition predominantly affects males. In the UK, approximately 100 boys are born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy each year, with around 2,500 boys and young men currently living with the condition. The general population faces a risk of one in every 3,500-5,000 male births for having a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

This disorder leads to progressive muscle weakness as a result of the dystrophin protein deficiency. The breakdown of muscle fibers occurs, and they are subsequently replaced by fibrous or fatty tissue, leading to a gradual weakening of the muscles.
