International Myotonic Dystrophy Awareness Day 2022 to Take Place September 15th

The NMD4C alongside Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) are proud to be members of a global alliance of over 50 myotonic dystrophy-focused organizations who have once again united to celebrate Myotonic Dystrophy Families Day this past July 23rd, and International Myotonic Dystrophy Awareness Day on September 15th, 2022.

In addition to the Alliance’s core mission of raising myotonic dystrophy awareness among the general population, many members of the Global Alliance for Myotonic Dystrophy Awareness are also leading efforts in two specific areas of focus to maximize our impact in 2022:

1. Awareness and education among clinical care teams,
2. Clinical trial readiness for participants.
