ABOUT DUCHENNE
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a beast of a disease that robs young boys of their ability to produce dystrophin, a muscle protein needed for their muscles to thrive. We have worked tirelessly over the 16 years to raise awareness and hope to fund a cure. Today there is no cure, but there are promising therapies in the horizon. Unfortunately, this beast did not wait for a cure for our son, John Owen. He passed away in 2023 at the age of 19, despite our efforts to save him. We will not give up hope to end this disease. Your participation in our Picnic in the Park will have a huge impact on our continued to fight in honor of John Owen to derail Duchenne for the next generation.
John Owen’s Adventure, Inc (JOA) is a North Royalton, OH non profit 501c3 founded by parents of John Owen, Tony & Jen Dumm. They aim to fund awareness for chronic childhood illnesses including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. They develop funds for finding a cure, sustaining the quality of life for these children and educating the general public about such illnesses. We have raised over $1,000,000 all in efforts to cure Duchenne.
