The story of a boy and his dog trying to end Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Alex Rezkalla Foundation
We formed the Alex Rezkalla Foundation to honor Alex and fundraise in order to help bring more advanced therapies to trial and market. We are in this fight for the long haul, inspired by those who helped us get this far.
Join The Fight
Science is advancing. The amount of clinical trials is increasing. Therapies are gaining approvals. There is still so much to uncover in the complex world of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We need YOU to help the Duchenne community maintain momentum. YOUR support can change the future for someone living with Duchenne today.
You don’t need to know what Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is or be affected by it directly in order to help. In addition to making a monetary donation, you can increase awareness about DMD by participating in our events, volunteering at our events, and connecting us to networking opportunities.
What We Do
The Alex Rezkalla Foundation is dedicated to advancing the development of therapies for those living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) through advocacy and funding research.
We build awareness about the lived experience of DMD through networking, public speaking engagements, and hosting fundraising events where we tell our story.
What We've Accomplished
Since Alex’s Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy diagnosis in 2015, Justin and Dawn Rezkalla have operated with the mindset of “pay it forward”. Alex had an opportunity to access an emerging therapy at diagnosis thanks to DMD patients and families who sacrificed decades before to advance treatments from lab to clinical trial.
We chose to join the fight through fundraising. Since diagnosis, we have raised over half a million dollars and counting to support the Duchenne community. We do this work not only for Alex, but for all those past, present, and future living with DMD.
