MDA is a voluntary health agency dedicated to the eradication of the muscular dystrophies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, the spinal muscular atrophies, Friedrich's ataxia and a host of other neuromuscular diseases.

The MDA is working to defeat neuromuscular diseases through programs of worldwide research, services and public health education. MDA's programs are funded almost entirely by individual private contributors.
