Mission Statement
We direct money into the hands of researchers who have the best shot at developing a treatment or cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Our sole mission is to develop therapies that will save Charley and thousands of boys like him all over the world.
About This Cause
Founded in 2004 by Tracy and Benjamin Seckler when their son Charley was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), Charley's Fund is in the business of driving research to treat and cure DMD. In the past ten years Charley's fund has grown into a sophisticated, efficient organization with global impact. We have directly funded more than $14 million in medical research and leveraged an additional $17 million from organizations that look to us for leadership in their funding decisions. We have spun out a biotech company that is developing three promising Duchenne therapies, the first of which is now in a clinical trial at five leading hospitals across the country. We have become active participants in conversations with the FDA as the first therapies for Duchenne face regulatory approval.
