Hope from one Continent to Another

 In the fall of 2016, we created a web series project. We built it up from end to end and even obtained the funding from a private partner to get the project going. We created an association between two non-profit organizations, La Force and Action Duchenne; our aim was to produce a web series featuring the annual Action Duchenne Conference in the UK to spread it out across Canada and elsewhere in the DMD community. To do so, we conducted a series of interviews with keynote speakers, scientists and industry professionals, In order to present the most promising research currently in progress and the most promising treatments. In addition, we interviewed families who have children with DMD and have started their own organization to share inspiring stories. We propelled this series in conjunction with Action Duchenne, Harrison Funds, in synergy with scientists and pharmaceutical companies.

This project has greatly enhanced the Foundation’s visibility and credibility among the international DMD community.
