HEALTH CARE AND COMMUNITY SERVICES People with muscular dystrophy and related diseases are our moms and dads, sons and daughters, our friends, neighbors, co-workers and loved ones. At MDA, were proud to offer the medical expertise and care that will help manage disease symptoms so that health and well-being will be optimized. Were committed to maximizing strength and mobility for families, promoting their quality of life and independence, breaking down barriers, and of course, making sure they know they are never alone in this fight. Families living with neuromuscular diseases face enormous daily challenges. MDA maintains the most comprehensive services program of any voluntary health agency in the country to help improve lives and support families from day one. Ranging from a nationwide network of comprehensive clinics at the nations top medical facilities to assistance with essential support services, MDA is here to help families today. Our health care and community services accounted for $56,468,364 of our 2015 expenditures. As we strive to revolutionize care and support, here are some of the key ways we supported families in 2015: - Provided comprehensive care focused on families needs at more than 150 MDA Care Centers through nearly 50,000 visits - Hosted more than 140 critical support groups for families to address daily needs and challenges - Offered nearly 75 weeklong summer camps for more than 3,800 children to help build self-confidence and independence and remove barriers of everyday life - Provided equipment repairs and support to help families maintain independence - Gave help and guidance to young people transitioning from childhood to adulthood at transitions.mda.org to help them live independently and thrive Additionally, through MDAs public policy and advocacy program, weve made elected officials, regulatory agencies and the general public more aware of issues affecting the neuromuscular disease community and have pushed for the passage of life-changing policies, programs and legislation. In 2015, our efforts alongside our passionate families and volunteers helped ensure passage of the Ensuring Access to Clinical Trials Act, helped delay cuts to complex rehabilitative technology, and played a role in securing the largest funding increase for the National Institutes of Health in the last decade, among other important progress.

RESEARCH Every day, children are born with muscular dystrophy and many other life-threatening diseases affecting muscles that take away their ability to walk, move, hug, talk and even breathe. Similarly, adults are facing devastating diseases like ALS that cause muscles to deteriorate and result in loss of mobility and other severe health complications. For these kids and adults, there are currently few treatments and no cures. MDAs research program is designed to change that. We are the only nonprofit taking a big-picture perspective on diseases that limit muscle strength and mobility by being laser-focused on breakthroughs across disease categories. What we learn on the frontlines in one area can potentially have positive impacts in others. In 2015, MDA spent $17,150,109 on research designed to accelerate urgently needed treatments and cures for the families we serve. We contributed to dozens of clinical trials for novel drugs and therapies. Thanks in part to this progress, more new drugs in development are expected during the next five years than in the previous 50. Some of the areas where we see the greatest potential are: - Gene targeting therapies (replacement, exon skipping, mutation read-through and editing) - Stem cell therapies - Small molecule therapies: In trials to improve multiple facets of neuromuscular disease, such as muscle atrophy, mitochondrial dysfunction, muscle contractility, inflammation, reduced perfusion and fibrosis In 2015, MDA awarded 103 research grants to leading scientists across the globe. MDA's Scientific and Medical Advisory Committees, whose members are among the nation's foremost scientists and physicians in the field of neuromuscular disease, carefully evaluate all grant proposals submitted. Reports on ongoing progress in MDAs effort to discover treatments and cures, including the status of human trials of potential therapies, can be found at mda.org/research.

PROFESSIONAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION Muscular dystrophy, ALS and other life-threatening diseases that limit muscle strength and mobility take away everyday abilities such as walking, standing, dressing oneself, hugging someone dear and even breathing. At MDA, we dedicate every minute of every day to fighting to free our families from the harmful effects of these diseases. Providing professional and public education is one of the many ways MDA is working to save and improve lives. In 2015, MDA spent $14,962,730 to provide professional and public health education. We promoted deeper understanding and awareness to rally and inspire action through a variety of innovative strategies: 1. Placed thousands of documented news stories about MDA's mission with network, syndicated and local broadcast outlets, print news publications and online, including frequent social media postings through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 2. Delivered critical information on research and care through MDAs award-winning national Quest Magazine that has a readership of 850,000 across print and online channels. 3. Produced, distributed and posted on YouTube hundreds of informational videos and educational materials about the challenges of living with muscular dystrophy and related diseases, facts and information, practical tips to help families, personal stories and more. 4. Delivered timely information on mda.org, which is recognized internationally as a key source of information about neuromuscular diseases. 5. Hosted the pre-eminent gathering of scientists, researchers and medical professionals specializing in neuromuscular disease research and clinical care at the 2015 MDA Scientific Conference in Washington, D.C., to bring together the nations best and brightest researchers to uncover scientific and medical breakthroughs that accelerate treatments and cures across the full spectrum of neuromuscular diseases.
