These groups are focused on helping to advance research and raise awareness to LGMD2I. Because the LGMD2i Research Fund does not accept donations, we recommend that you visit the website of our LGMD2I partners and talk to their founding members to learn more and decide if you want to make a donation and help advance LGMD2I research.

The Foundation’s goals are to raise funds for LGMD2I research and to increase awareness about the disease.
