Our mission at the Dion Children Foundation for Rare Disease is to increase awareness of rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases such as Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, that affect children with the intention of allocating funds for research and development of potential treatments and cures of these devastating diseases. Our belief at Dion Children Fund is that no child should be left behind. Our children matter, and so do the lives of so many other children affected by rare genetic neuromuscular diseases.
