The Awards provide a grant to patient advocacy organizations around the world who are committed to developing innovative and sustaining programs that help address the unmet needs of the rare disease community. This year, a new entry category dedicated to supporting programs that focus on the transition of those living with Duchenne from adolescence to adulthood has been introduced. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The new award category recognizes the recent progressions seen in the treatment and management of Duchenne, with many individuals now living longer, fulfilled lives as adults \u2013 a milestone that seemed unachievable just a few years ago,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Mary Frances Harmon<\/span>, Senior Vice President, Corporate Relations, PTC Therapeutics. &#8220;However, this improvement in care creates new challenges, and guidance and support from local organizations will be critical to helping these individuals smoothly navigate the transition to adulthood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Until recently, children with Duchenne did not usually live beyond their teens.<sup>1 <\/sup>However, improvements in cardiac and respiratory care mean that life expectancy is <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3036561-1&amp;h=2238400089&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mda.org%2Fdisease%2Fduchenne-muscular-dystrophy&amp;a=increasing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">increasing<\/a>, with many Duchenne patients now reaching their 30s and 40s.<sup>1,2<\/sup> As a result of this, there is an increasing emphasis on quality of life and psychosocial support for the Duchenne community, meaning there is an urgent need to coordinate and improve the transition from childhood to adulthood.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Since\u00a0inception, the STRIVE program has supported over 30 patient initiatives from not-for-profit organizations around the world.

It is a progressive muscle disorder caused by the lack of functional dystrophin protein. Dystrophin is critical to the structural stability of all muscles, including skeletal, diaphragm, and heart muscles. Patients with Duchenne can lose the ability to walk as early as age ten, followed by loss of the use of their arms. Duchenne patients subsequently experience life-threatening lung complications, requiring the need for ventilation support, and heart complications in their late teens and twenties. <\/p>\n<p>More information regarding Duchenne is available through the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy.
