The Duchenne Family Support Group has recently launched a brand new website providing regularly updated news and information.

The website offers support for newly diagnosed families and for those who have been living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy for a while, who may be seeking information or advice from the perspective of other families in the same situation.

Details of the charity's regional contact families and telephone helpline are available, and there are sections for manifesting carriers and healthcare professionals.

The site now includes details of DFSG events and fundraising activities, information about the management of Duchenne, on-line merchandising, members' stories and experiences, and useful links to other websites.

Visitors can register as a web member and post comments, so take a look and let the DFSG know what you think!
