MDMoms

MDMoms was created in 2014 by Amy Koran Chard  (Ohio) as a Facebook page for mothers with children diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD).  As our Band of Sisters grew, Amy asked , Lori Wynn McDowell (Kentucky), Valerie Howley Robinson (Texas) and Chloë Hovell (New Zealand) to help manage the page as adminstrators.  

In 2016/2017, MDMoms expanded its reach to include Moms with children, regardless of the child's age or MD Type/subtype.

With over 300 members (and growing), we knew that we would eventualy need our own webpage that included articles of interest, featured MDMom blogs, as well as a forum that would allow moms to connect/communicate by Region, MD Type and Subtype, question/concern/topic, child's age, etc.

And so...here it is...Welcome to MDMoms!
