POINT TO A CURE

LGMD Awareness Day Toolkit

The LGMD Awareness Foundation is on a mission to shine a global spotlight on limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and champion the cause for improved access to diagnosis, care, and treatment for those living with this condition. As we celebrate a decade of progress, we will be rolling out an Awareness Day Toolkit in spring of 2024, designed to empower and engage our community in advocacy like never before.

Polish your index fingernail Lime Green for LGMD
When people inquire as to why you have only one nail polished lime green, explain that it is to raise awareness of the group of rare diseases known as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and the need for a cure!
Challenge your Friends & Family to do the same…and encourage them to DONATE to an LGMD Organization focused on finding a cure and treatment.
Post photos on social media of your lime green fingernail “pointing to a cure” and use the hashtags #PointToACure #CureLGMD #LgmdAwareness
