These groups are focused on helping to advance research and raise awareness to LGMD2I. Because the LGMD2i Research Fund does not accept donations, we recommend that you visit the website of our LGMD2I partners and talk to their founding members to learn more and decide if you want to make a donation and help advance LGMD2I research.
The CureLGMD2i Foundation (previously known as the Samantha J Brazzo Foundation)
The CureLGMD2i Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by the parents of Samantha Brazzo, who is living with LGMD2I. The Foundation’s goals are to raise funds for LGMD2I research and to increase awareness about the disease. Since 2011, CureLGMD2i has often partnered with us to fund projects that speed up development of therapies for LGMD2I and projects to raise awareness.
