JOA is a non profit raising funds to find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, DMD. DMD is a fatal disease which from the estimates affects 500,000 + young boys through out the world.

 

DMD progressively wastes muscle and causes muscle weakness. It begins with microscopic changes in the muscle and as muscles degenerate over time, the boy's muscle strength diminishes. With DMD, ultimately the heart muscle will stop working.
