Unmasked

After nearly 14 months of mandatory masking at various levels of daily living and working during the pandemic, most places in the U.S. and certainly locally have now removed the requirement for masks, generally.

Whatever side of science and good sense one may choose with respect to protecting themselves and their fellow man, unmasking has unmistakingly caused a nearly spontaneous rebirth of personal freedom and pursuit of happiness, albeit the terrible price in life, health, career and treasure paid due to the horrific pandemic.

Now, we can breathe. To the research scientists, clinicians, and medical providers working towards a cure for Duchenne, let’s unmask the perceived limitations of the past and energetically charge towards new thinking.  Let’s push forward with new technologies such as CRISPR genetic repair and other promising approaches and forge a new future for the living young and lives yet to be born to be free of the DMD dream killer and enter a long overdue period when Duchenne is unmasked.

Kindly yours,
