“Although CureDuchenne is a national charity with events all over the country, the Avia Orange County Marathon is very special to us since our
organization is based here in Orange County,” said Debra Miller, President of CureDuchenne. The CureDuchenne Crusaders have gained notoriety by wearing their bright lime green capes throughout the race. According to Mrs. Miller, “Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is the most lethal genetic childhood disease and so few people know about it, because the boys it affects are too young to have a strong voice in their cause. CureDuchenne’s goal is to raise awareness for Duchenne, and there is no way you can miss our bright green capes.” The public is invited to join the Crusaders at the finish line to meet the team and learn more about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
