On September 7, 2019, PTC Theraputics announced a $30,000 grant to Mitchell’s Journey in support of our hope kits. Their funds will support the development and production of Hope Kits and have been earmarked for the DMD community specifically. We seek additional funds to produce more so we can distribute them to the wider public.
