Today, the Senate passed a Continuing Resolution that includes a 57% cut to the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program. While the CR may keep the government running in the short term, it brings with it concerning implications for #Duchenne and #Becker research.

The Weight He Carried: How One Rare Dad Turned Heartbreak into Horsepower w/ Jeff Allen I cried when I first interviewed Jeff. To be honest, I expected a polished media chat - maybe even a PR rep listening in, which usually takes some of the magic out of it. He’d just won $10
