The message from Pope Francis
Vatican, 7 September 2024
Dear brothers,
On World Duchenne Awareness Day for Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy, I send a greeting of hope to all the boys and young men affected by this disease. I pray for you and your families, so that you may never lose hope and the joy of living.
I congratulate and encourage patient organizations around the world for the service they provide advocating for the rights and well-being of people living with this disease.
I ask you to pray for me. May God bless you.
Fraternally,
Francis
