Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) is an organization dedicated to ending Duchenne muscular dystrophy and supporting people and families affected by Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. Its work spans research, advocacy, care, and access to approved therapies. PPMD invests in research and therapy development, supports clinical research recruitment, and provides information about therapeutic approaches, drug development, clinical trials, and gene therapy. The Duchenne Registry enables people with Duchenne or Becker, and female carriers, to contribute data that can help researchers improve care and advance therapy development.

For families, PPMD offers educational resources on diagnosis, genetics, care guidelines, approved therapies, and navigating life with Duchenne. Its services include personalized one-to-one support, community groups, resources for newly diagnosed families, and guidance for adults, carriers, healthcare professionals, and educators. PPMD also advocates on legislation, public policy, regulatory matters, and insurance access, while offering ways to take action and connect with the community. Fundraising programs, events, conferences, webinars, and a podcast further support its mission.
