The Hastings family established the Foundation in order to raise funds for advancing the research for a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The Foundation's goal is to develop, organize, and direct the energies of volunteers and friends to promote fund-raising activities, while serving as a resource of information and support for parents of children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The Foundation also seeks to promote Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy education and awareness, while aligning its efforts with those of other organizations striving to find a cure for DMD.
