Cure Rare Disease’s mission is to develop advanced therapeutics to treat individuals with rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne). 

In the media, people with disabilities often aren’t featured as main characters, if they are included at all, so we wanted to share some kid-friendly shows and movies to help teach kids about acceptance and inclusion. Representation in movies and TV shows is important because it shows people, especially younger kids, that not everyone will look or act the same way and that it is important to be accepting no matter what. 

It's National Disability Awareness Month, and what better way to celebrate than by highlighting some amazing TikTok creators who share their stories and journeys of living with a disability.
