"Dedication never takes a day off. 💪🏾 #AlwaysWorking; It was a privilege and honor meeting this amazing spirit, Grant. Today, I learned about Duchenne Muscular dystrophy. It was very discouraging knowing there has not been a cure found yet, but with a never-failing God and the help of everyone's donations towards this cause I keep hope alive. 🙏🏾💕 #HopeForACure #curedechenne"
Deion Sanders and evidently his daughter have a strong faith. Coach Prime speaks of his strong belief in God, just as his children. He thanks him in his speeches, pep talks and tweets, unfailingly, for making him the man he is.
What is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or DMD is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration. It causes weakness due to the alterations of dystrophin, a protein that helps to keep the muscle cells intact.
DMD symptoms can be spotted in early childhood usually between the ages 2 and 3. It is a rare disease with an approximate prevalence of six per 100,000 individuals, mostly in Europe and North America. The rareness of the disease has led to minimal R&D and thereby lack of treatment.
