Officers and Board Members

 

 

	When we learned that our family was at risk for this disease, we were terrified and worried. It was completely unexpected as we'd never heard of MJD or seen it in the family. Reading about it didn't help because all the information was negative - I couldn't find a shred of hope. The only thing we could do was to form this nonprofit corporation to help scientists discover a cure for MJD. I hope you'll join us in our quest for hope and life.
Laura Denning, RN, MA President
