World Duchenne Awareness Day takes place annually on 7 September 2023. This year the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation Cape Branch took a few boys affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, who attend Astra School, to Table Mountain. Red balloons are the symbol of World Duchenne Awareness Day. We are grateful to Table Mountain National Park for providing us with complimentary tickets for the day. The boys had so much fun going up with the cable car and exploring the mountain.
The mother of one of our clients, Benito Pieters, is a teacher at Nieuwoudt Primary School in Klawer in the Western Cape. Thank you to Mrs Pieters and colleagues for supporting World Duchenne Awareness Day.
