Maclaren Introduces Stroller to Benefit Muscular Dystrophy Charity

Maclaren Introduces Stroller to Benefit Muscular Dystrophy Charity

I love it when a company supports a worthy cause.  There’s something so utterly incredible and amazing about seeing that.

Recently Maclaren was introduced to Tracy Seckler, founder of an organization called Charley’s Fund. I hadn’t heard of Charley’s Fund previously to this, and well… I was just immediately taken to the story… especially being a mother to 4 boys.

Charley’s Fund directs money into the hands of researchers who have the best shot at developing a treatment or cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). The organization’s goal is to cure DMD in time to save Charley Seckler’s (the organizations namesake) life and the lives of thousands of boys like him. DMD is the most common fatal genetic disorder to affect children around the world. Children with DMD cannot produce dystrophin, a protein necessary for muscle strength and function. As a result, every skeletal muscle in the body deteriorates. Although Duchenne is the most common fatal genetic disorder to affect children, there is no cure.

It’s heartbreaking. And once I saw what Maclaren was doing with them, I knew I wanted to spread the word on MomGenerations.com…

When Maclaren learned of this illness – which is commonly diagnosed when in boys only around the ages of 1 to 3 years – last year, the Maclaren Chairman wanted to use the Maclaren name to help bring awareness of this disorder AND raise money to find a cure.

I would like to introduce you to the Charley’s Fund “I Believe” Triumph buggy

The stroller retails for $195 (and will include a special “I Believe” Universal Organizer and raincover) and all proceeds from the sale will be donated directly to Charley’s Fund to support research to find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

ALL. PROCEEDS.

I am just blown away by that contribution from Maclaren. It’s a beautiful thing!

If you would like to learn more about Charley’s Fund, learn over HERE. It’s quite remarkable.
