On November 10th, 2009 Debra Miller, Founder and President of CureDuchenne, presented a check for $200,000.00 for a new Center for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research at UCLA. The grant will go towards Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) research & clinic.
Many of the funds going to UCLA were raised at this year’s “Dealing for Duchenne” Charity Poker Tournament. Because of its continued success, CureDuchenne will be hosting its 3rd Annual tournament this year on June 12th, 2010 at the Petersen Automotive Museum.
The event is wonderfully orchestrated by Chris and Amy Martin (parents of a boy with Duchenne). More details to come on this exciting event.
