History of the Foundation
The Muscular Dystrophy Research Foundation of South Africa was founded in 1974 by Mr and Mrs Newton Walker who had a son affected with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. They, together with Wally Gough of the Rotary Club of Potchefstroom and representatives of Cripple Care Association formed the Foundation.
Today the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation of South Africa is a registered non-profit organisation consisting of a national office and three branches which operate in the nine provinces of South Africa.
