The Hope for Gus Foundation and its signature Everest to End Duchenne fundraising trek to Mount Everest Base Camp have raised $100,000 to fund new gene-editing research that could lead to new treatments for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
The nine-member U.S. Everest to End Duchenne team is led by Tonya Dreher, mother of Gus Dreher, a New Hampshire 12-year-old who became the inspiration for the trek after being diagnosed with DMD in 2010.
