Meet Jake Marrazzo, a 17-year-old high school senior known for his creativity and radiant smile, who lives with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Diagnosed at age 8 and using a wheelchair since 12, Jake faces the challenges of the most aggressive form of muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder causing progressive muscle weakness due to a lack of dystrophin protein. While DMD primarily affects boys, impacting about 6 per 100,000, there is currently no cure, though promising advancements are underway.
