About Myotonic Dystrophy In Motion Awareness Month
This July, the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation (MDF) is thrilled to host the 2025 Myotonic Dystrophy In Motion Awareness Month, a month-long celebration centered around the theme: Movement Matters.
All month long, the DM community will come together to explore the power of movement through weekly movement moment activities, live webinars with DM and movement experts, and opportunities to connect and share personal movement practices. Whether you’re starting a new routine or building on existing habits, this is a chance to learn how daily movement can support wellness and improve quality of life.
