Supporting a Better Future for our patients
Why We Walk
LGMD2D/R3 is a rare, progressive, muscle-wasting disease caused by mutations in the alpha-sarcoglycan (SGCA) gene. This disease leads to increasing muscle weakness and loss of function, impacting children and adults around the world.
Today, there are no approved treatments for LGMD2D.
The good news is that promising research is advancing. Clinical programs, gene therapy approaches, and precision medicine strategies are creating real opportunities for treatment development. But progress depends on continued funding and community support. That's why Hope in Motion exists.
Create a team & multiply your impact.
Invite your family, friends, coworkers, school, church, or community group to join you.
Whether you're honoring a loved one, supporting a friend, or advocating for the rare disease community, creating a team is a meaningful way to spread awareness and amplify fundraising efforts.
100% of event proceeds will support research focused on developing treatments for LGMD2D/R3.
Every registration, donation, and shared story helps us move one step closer to changing lives. Together, we can make a powerful difference.
