| The mission of the Jett Foundation is to increase worldwide awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy with the purpose of raising and appropriating funds for research that will realize a cure for this fatal disease and ensure that children like Jett have the opportunity to enjoy a full life. While our efforts are ongoing and we will not stop until we find a cure, we recognize that time is of the essence for many of these young boys and that significant financial support is needed now to help make a difference in their lives. |
The Wyatt Foundation (TWF) is a non-profit entity which was founded in 2008 by the family and friends of Wyatt Keeley, a precocious and engaging 11-year-old boy from New Fairfield, Conn. Wyatt was just three years old when he was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, an always fatal, muscle-wasting disease which affects the lives of one in 3,500 male births. The foundation was inspired by this young man and by the desire to focus upon two main goals. Our mission is: To make available the very best in support and resources to both those boys living with Duchenne as well as their families; and to assist in the global search for a cure. |
