Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the number one killer of children affected with muscular dystrophies and any male child can be afflicted, regardless of race or nationality. Though incurable now, my one hope is that scientists will find the cure for it in our lifetime.

The greatest difficulty with this journal was the sheer amount of research that I had to do, and trying to condense the information into something readable.
