A few years ago it wasn't easy to explain to people in Kenya what muscular dystrophy entailed and what type of condition it was. A lot has changed recently and many people are now getting familiar with the condition.
Muscular dystrophy is an inherited condition that affects the muscles making them weak and waste away over time. MD is not arthritis, multiple sclerosis or polio. The three affect mobility but they are not muscle wasting conditions.
We appreciate the efforts made by those affected with MD in Kenya for they are all creating awareness in their individual rights which is a good thing.
We are reaching out to every one affected by MD in Kenya and our efforts have born fruit. The membership is growing from Nairobi, Nanyuki, Thika, Nyeri, Mombasa to Kisumu.
It wasn't easy, the journey has just began. We look forward to offer support to those who need our help and not dwell on awareness only.
