We invite you to attend our 4th International Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Conference, dedicated to finding safe and effective treatments for all forms of LGMD. Patients and families are central to this conference and every LGMD patient and caregiver is greatly encouraged to attend to help shine the light on the vast number of patients living with LGMD. We are pleased to be working closely with GRASP LGMD, a consortium of leading neurologists internationally, who will collaborate at our event along with major biotech companies on the cutting edge of emerging research. The overall mission of this conference is to provide momentum to developing treatments by bringing together key stakeholders in the field. The conference also focuses on making information accessible to our patient community while providing opportunities for social support, advocacy, and symptom management to help improve quality of life for individuals living with LGMD.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Welcome to The Speak Foundation. We are the first patient-led organization for muscular dystrophy, established in 2008. The mission of the Speak Foundation is to proved a voice for those living with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and other rare forms of neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). In collaboration with other LGMD foundations, we held the first National Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Conference in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A., in September 2019.
