Myo-Mission: Raising Awareness and Funds for MD

Tax deductible
Hi there! Our names our Tanush Sriram, Rishi Saroya, and Soham Kela. We are students at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, Durham. We are Myo-Mission: a student-led initiative to raise awareness for Muscular Dystrophy and to raise money to help generate funds for students with Muscular Dystrophy to lessen the financial burden of attending specialized Summer camps. Muscular Dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscular weakness and degeneration. Common effects in patients include: ambulatory loss, muscle weakness, neurological effects, and more.

Our motto is Building Awareness, Breaking Barriers, and Boosting Progress.

Building Awareness: We are going house-to-house to get cash donations and to talk about Muscular Dystrophy and our cause. We hope that by interacting with people in our community face-to-face, we can better educate other about this genetic disorder.

Breaking Barriers: By educating people in our community, we are dispelling the negative connotation around Muscular Dystrophy and other genetic disorders.

Boosting Progress: Education and acceptance are the first steps to making a more inclusive environment and providing a space for people with all disorders to feel comfortable. Additionally, this has inspired us to actively conduct biological research in Muscular Dystrophy including specialized variants such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Best Regards,
Tanush Sriram, Rishi Saroya, and Soham Kela
