We are excited to have launched our new LGMD2D Foundation merchandise store. You can help us raise awareness of LGMD2D & support our advocacy and treatment initiatives just by purchasing our merch. And this is only the beginning! Be sure to check back often for new styles and designs.

We have several fundraising initiatives planned for 2024 to raise money in three core areas: awareness, advocacy and research. The more we raise awareness and advocate for LGMD, the more treatment research will expand. LGMD2D patients desperately need treatment options to help slow and stop the progression of this severe disease. Every dollar counts!
We were excited to hold the 2nd virtual 5K event, Hope in Motion: LGMD2D Awareness 5K. In 2025, our event was from Friday, September 26, to Tuesday, September 30th, to support LGMD2D patients. Whether you walked, ran, or rolled during the LGMD Awareness Day event, every mile mattered. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2025 event. Because of you, we had over 130+ registrants and raised over $21,000 for LGMD2D.
We were thrilled to host our inaugural golf tournament at Stanley Golf Course in New Britain, Connecticut, in October 2025. Thanks to the incredible support of our 26 sponsors, 130+ attendees (60+ golfers), and volunteers, the event was an outstanding success — raising over $32,000 and awareness for the LGMD2D community.
Building on this momentum, we are excited to announce two golf tournaments in 2026:
May 16, 2026 — Plymouth, Massachusetts
September 26, 2026 — New Britain, Connecticut
These events will bring together families, community leaders, corporate partners, and advocates to drive awareness, fund research, and accelerate progress toward treatments and a cure. We invite you to join us on the course and be part of the impact.

There are currently no approved treatments or a cure for LGMD2D. The incredible warriors fighting this disease around the world need your support. Please consider making a donation—no dollar is too small, and every dollar goes directly toward raising LGMD2D/R3 awareness, advocating for families, and driving the development of life-changing treatments. Join us in this critical mission. Your support truly makes a difference.
