The Wyatt Foundation (TWF) is a non-profit entity which was founded in 2008 by the family and friends of Wyatt Keeley, a precocious and engaging 12-year-old boy from New Fairfield, Conn. Wyatt was just three years old when he was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, an always fatal, muscle-wasting disease which affects the lives of one in 3,500 male births. The foundation was inspired by this young man and by the desire to focus upon two main goals. Our mission is: To make available the very best in support and resources to both those boys living with Duchenne as well as their families; and to assist in the global search for a cure.
TWF is committed to providing assistance, to creating programs and to offering hope to families affected by Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies. On a larger scale, the desire also is to reach beyond these devastating diseases and to make the same resources available to individuals and their loved ones who are dealing with other chronic and terminal illnesses and disabilities.
The support of the local community as well as from individuals and businesses both nationally and internationally is what will strengthen TWF’s ability to achieve these goals. We extend our deepest gratitude for your support of our cause and hope that no one in your life will be touched by circumstances such as these.
