September is International Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month. Muscular Dystrophies (MD) are a group of inherited genetic conditions that gradually cause the muscles to weaken, leading to an increasing level of disability. It is a progressive condition, and while treatment can help, the condition cannot be cured.

We are taking the month to help educate and raise awareness of the condition, with a special focus on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and a young man named Quade. His story - like a number of other familes in South Africa - may not be known. ACGL, QJDMD, Creators for Quade and our fantastic sponsors Redragon, T-Dagger and FiFine will use the month to talk about how this muscle-wasting disease affects about 1 in 5,000 boys, and 1 in 50,000,000 girls. Importantly, the sooner the condition is diagnosed, the earlier treatment can start.

During September, we will be hosting donation drives with a variety of streamers, tournaments, giveaways and more. All we ask is that you engage, learn more and support the donation drive to assist the children and families affected by the condition.
