The Muscular Dystrophy Foundation of South Africa supports people with muscular Dystrophy and Neuromuscular disorders and endevours to improve the quality of lifestyle for its members.

The Muscular Dystrophy Research Foundation of South Africa was founded in 1974 by Mr and Mrs Newton Walker of Potchefstroom who, at the time, had a son affected with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. They felt there was a need to reach out to other parents and families in a similar situations and also to support research into this disease with the ultimate goal of finding a cure. We support affected people and their families by offering emotional support, genetic counseling and create public awareness. We also support research projects undertaken in South Africa.
