Mission
WALKING STRONG HELPS DUCHENNE FAMILIES WITH THEIR OVER-BEARING MEDICAL NEEDS THAT ARE MOST OFTEN NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. TO DATE, WE HAVE PROVIDED FAMILIES WITH LIFE-CHANGING ITEMS SUCH AS A HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE VAN, SERVICE DOGS, HOYER LIFTS, IN-HOME RAMPS, ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES, MEDICAL TRAVEL EXPENSES, AND ON-LINE TRAINING COURSES FOR OLDER DUCHENNE TEENS TO HELP PROVIDE THEM WITH A CAREER. WE ALSO PROVIDE ONE-ON-ONE MINDSET COACHING TO ALL THOSE WITH DUCHENNE, THEIR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS.
