Let's make history in April!

April Update

We're just three short weeks away from the critical FDA advisory committee meeting to evaluate eteplirsen on April 25th. This is a critical milestone for boys with Duchenne. Our community is coming together to ensure that the committee gets a full understanding of the science behind this safe and effective treatment. We need a roomful of people to support this effort and watch history unfold that day!

Last month 109 Congressmen signed a letter urging the FDA to "utilize all available tools, resources, and authorities" in reviewing a treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Today we are seeking Senators to do the same. Please contact your senator and urge them to sign this letter and garner as much support as possible leading up to AdComm.

If you haven't reserved your seat, there's still one available for you. Jett Foundation is providing travel and hotel scholarships to ensure our entire community is represented and heard.

Three important requests:

Would you please watch and share this simple 25 second video summarizing the results of the 4 year-long study of boys on eteplirsen?
Please encourage your Senator to sign this letter in support of the Duchenne community. Together, with our allies on the hill, we will #makeduchennehistory.
Come to AdComm! The Jett Foundation is providing travel and hotel scholarships to ensure our vibrant and strong community is represented and heard. Reserve your seat today!

Jett Foundation raises critical funds to support our mission through fundraisers and events. Please read more below about how you can get involved and support Jett Foundation through these events: 14th Annual Jett Golf Classic, Jett Ride, Gals for Cal and Tri for Jett.

Our Regional Roundtables continue to be a great success bringing together families, caregivers and industry to create more understanding. Don't miss the next one in Colorado on April 30th. Also, Camp Promise registration is OPEN!

Roundtables success continues - educating families and caregivers

Thanks to all who attended the Houston Roundtable. Many thanks to our company participants and sponsors and especially Dr. James Poysky for the session on learning and behavior. Here are the slides from his presentation.

"We are seeing a total ripple affect from these great information sessions. Folks are taking the information they learn, and are discussing and sharing it on social media like Facebook. Families who aren't able to attend, are still able to learn important information about clinical trials and Duchenne research. The roundtables are having even more impact then we ever imagined."
-Christine Mcsherry, Jett Foundation

Many thanks to our sponsors and partners. If you're interested in helping make an impact with these informative meetings, contact Maura .
