Empowering families. Fighting Duchenne.
About us
In 2001, Christine and Stephen McSherry started Jett Foundation after learning the devastating news that their then five-year-old son, Jett, had Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The McSherry family was determined to save Jett and thousands of boys like him by establishing a foundation dedicated to funding DMD research that will ultimately cure this deadly disease. Since then, Jett Foundation’s efforts have raised over $16 million dollars for promising biomedical Duchenne research and shifted its primary focus to direct service programming for families impacted by Duchenne and other neuromuscular disorders. Jett Foundation has established one-of-a-kind direct service programs and educational activities that have a proven track record of influence and meets the needs of affected families from every city and town, regardless of location, financial situation, or capabilities.
