ABOUT US
Over the past two decades, the Suneel’s Light Foundation has raised more than $1.5 million to fund groundbreaking research aimed at treating, and ultimately curing, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and improving the lives of those affected by the disease.
Every dollar raised by Suneel's Light is used to achieve these goals. With the help of our generous donors and grants, we have invested in cutting-edge research, provided local families with quality-of-life tools, advocated for lifesaving policies, participated in medical conferences across the globe, and testified at Congressional hearings.
With your continued support we will reach the goal to find life-saving treatments and a cure for DMD. Each day, the beacon of hope shines brighter as we journey towards our goal.
