Manifesto: Muscular Dystrophy Day on the Internet
Welcome!
Together, We CAN Beat Muscular Dystrophy!
We thank the interest that you have evidenced in knowing about our association.
We are aware of the enormous development that other associations have had in the last years in their efforts to combat the muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders in the countries of the north hemisphere (mainly in Europe and USA), through investigations and programs of services for affected people and parents.
We also want to contribute to improve the conditions and quality of life from people that suffer any of the 40 neuromuscular disorders and that they are living in the developing countries of the south hemisphere, mainly Spanish-speaking, that are more than 300 thousand people.
We believe firmly that the fight against the muscular dystrophy will be stronger and more effective in the measure than knots of collaboration can be settled down from all over the world between associations, clinical, hospitals and investigation centers.
For that reason, knowing the great experience and funds you are acquiered in the past, we request your kindly support and collaboration to help us to implement programs of fund-raising, attention and specialized services for persons with neuromuscular disorders in our countries.
In Peru there are about 30,000 persons with neuromuscular disorders. We are in touch with the main hospital's network of Peru to begin soon the firsts campaigns
for preventing, assessing and diagnosing the Muscular Dystrophy and other related conditions.We invite you to know the Objectives and Purposes of the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Peru - MDA Peru.
Any help you can offer us will be very appreciated.
