Supporting the Duchenne Family:
Thoughts from the Heart

Birthdays can be grief triggers for parents of children with Duchenne.

There are many ways to show that you care during this conflicted time. If there’s a party planned, offer to decorate, clean the house, get the groceries, or clean up after. If there’s no party planned, simply call and ask how they’re doing.
