Welcome to Cure Dale’s Duchenne.
Dale is a Gainesville guy with a big personality, a brother named Lee, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic disease that slowly weakens the muscles. There’s no cure yet. We built this site because we believe that can change, and because research only moves as fast as the people pushing it.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
- Dale’s story, and how Duchenne affects his everyday life.
- Understanding Duchenne, a plain-English guide to the disease.
- The research that’s bringing new treatments closer, including work right here in Gainesville.
- Fundraising events, and ideas for hosting your own.
Thank you for being here. Learning about Duchenne and telling one more person about it is already a way to help.
