* Action Duchenne is a UK company and charity that was set up in the UK by parents, family members & supporters of young people with DMD who demanded that a cure or viable long-term treatment is found.
The charity seeks to promote new research & clinical trials and also maintains the DMD registry - a UK national register of people with DMD which is used to match trials with people.
