ABOUT DARIUS GOES WEST:
Darius Goes West (DGW) is an award-winning film, a nationwide grassroots movement, and a non-profit organization that aims to affect a treatment or cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. To get a taste of what DGW is all about please watch the short video or view the slideshow below.
Darius Goes West is also currently one of 100 causes still competing in the Chase Community Giving Challenge (a free online vote that started with 500,000 causes!). Top prize is $1,000,000 and the next five winners receive $100k. Voting is fast and free. DMD is the #1 genetic killer of children in the world, and $1,000,000 would do wonders for developing a treatment or cure for this devastating disease.
