How does one participate in Duchenne Awareness Day? IT'S SIMPLE! First, head to your local dollar store and purchase a RED BALLOON. Carry that balloon every where you go! When people ask, "Whats with the balloon?" You can respond, and in turn bring awareness to Duchenne, its that easy! 

*Don't forget to post a picture and tag us on social media with all the places you take your balloon and share our story that day, we love to see it!

Are you a teacher or parent to young kiddos?  Are you unsure about how to talk to them about Duchenne?
