Short Bio

My name is Rafael Velasquez and I have DMD. I been in this world for 26 1/2 years and still can use a manual wheelchair and not on any ventilation or feeding assistance. I’m trying to start an organization dedicated to prioritizing the needs of adults with DMD. Feel free to contribute to the forum on Adulting With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy on Facebook.
