Even though World Duchenne Awareness Day has only been going since 2014, it has since made a huge impact and helped to improve the lives of thousands of people who have the condition.
Since its inception, the day is now celebrated around the world thanks to the support of many global charities. In fact, the day has become such a big deal that it is now under the patronage of the European Union Parliament and has also been supported by Pope Francis.
