Welcome

The Weyburn Campaign to end Duchenne was started by two Weyburn families that both have two boys diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). This progressive condition results in the weakening of muscles throughout the child's body. It primarily affects boys, and they are usually wheel chair bound by age 12. Their life expectancy is only about 20 years.

Another Successful Walk

The walk was once again an amazing success. We had 65 walkers come out and we raised a total of approximately $15,700 with a few more pledges expected to come in.

We'd like to thank everyone that attended or donated money, and to our sponsors, Assiniboia Park Elementary School for use of the gym, Weyburn Co-Op for donating 100 bracelets for the walkers, and Tervita for supplying snacks and bottled water.

If you'd still like to donate, you can do so online, or use the "Contact Us" link at the top of the page to get in touch.

3rd Annual Walk Coming Soon

We're rapidly preparing for our third annual walk.

You'll see from the links above you can now register or pledge online. Check out the Charity Walk 2012 page for more information.
