"This is our son Jack's second year after his Duchenne diagnosis and he's doing great," said Jeff Herzfeld, father of Jack and CureDuchenne Board member. "Potential lifesaving therapies and, hopefully, a cure are getting closer. Thanks to our friends, family and the Orange County Community, we raised more than $100,000 last year...funds desperately needed to prioritize Duchenne research. We intend to blow past last year's goal, and hope everyone will join us, either at the event or through our online auction."

About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

One in every 3,500 boys worldwide is afflicted with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. They will be in wheel chairs by 12 and, historically, most have not survived their teenage years. Duchenne knows no boundaries and crosses all cultures and races. The gene mutation that causes Duchenne is usually passed from mother to son, but more than one-third of cases are spontaneous. It can happen in any family. There currently is no cure, but for the first time, there are promising therapies on the horizon.
