Pietro'sfight.org is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds to find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It was founded by Manni and Dayna Scarso in July of 2012 after the couple learned the devastating news that their then-3-year-old son Pietro was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)–the most common and lethal childhood genetic disorder in the world affecting one in every 3,500 male births. Most children with DMD are confined to a wheelchair by the time they are 12 years of age, and succumb to the disease in their late teens due to respiratory complications. To date, there is no acceptable treatment or cure for DMD, a realization that temporarily paralyzed the Scarso's and their family; but not for long. Feeling revitalized by the love and support of family and friends, Dayna and Manni Scarso were determined to save Pietro and the thousands of boys like him by establishing a foundation focused on searching for and funding DMD research that will ultimately cure this deadly disease. The funds they raise support the most promising research programs aimed at treating and curing DMD. For the first time ever, there is hope to find a cure for this destructive disease in time to save Pietro and many other boys and their families.To find treatment or a cure takes money. Please help us in the fight to give Pietro and other children with DMD the chance they deserve. Please help us in Pietro's fight and donate what you can today.
