Contact Kathleen Riordan for more information. Choose from one of many volunteer opportunities and make a difference for people living with neuromuscular diseases. Rare neuromuscular diseases stand as some of the most challenging puzzles in science and medicine today. The rare nature of progressive muscle disease like muscular dystrophies, spinal muscular atrophy, ALS, and Pompe, coupled with corresponding gaps in public awareness and scientific investment, can present obstacles to research and access to treatments.
Our work has led to historic advancements in genetic research, improved diagnostic methods, multidisciplinary care, and the development of groundbreaking therapies that once seemed beyond reach. These scientific discoveries have wide-reaching applications for other more commonplace diseases and conditions, affecting millions of people across the globe.
Together, we can surge past the limits of yesterday's understanding and treatments. MDA is the 1 voluntary health organization in the United States for people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and over other neuromuscular conditions.
For 75 years, MDA has led the way in accelerating research, advancing care, and advocating support and inclusion of families living with neuromuscular disease. We also provide access to expert care, trusted resources and a supportive community, empowering people living with neuromuscular disease to live longer, stronger and on their own terms.
