Muscular Dystrophy Family Foundation

Living with a neuromuscular disease means facing new challenges every day.

Muscular Dystrophy Family Foundation is here for you.

Since 1958, our Indiana non-profit organization has been providing a helping hand to Hoosier men, women, and children living with ALS, muscular dystrophy, and other neuromuscular diseases.

Our hearts are heavy with the loss of MDFF President, Tim Doyle. He passed away on January 11, 2024. His memory will continue with the mission of MDFF as it was his dream.

If you would like to make a donation in memory of Tim, you may do so here.

“My long, portable ramp from MDFF donors has opened doors (almost literally) for me. It’s unlikely that I would have ever been able to visit my daughter in Florida without it. Thank you so much.”
