Welcome! The CureLGMD2i Foundation was created by the Brazzo Family when their daughter, Samantha, was diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2I/R9 at the age of two. At that time, there were no FDA approved therapies for LGMD2I/R9. They created this 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization (formerly known as The Samantha J. Brazzo Foundation) with a mission to spread awareness, provide advocacy for the patient community, and to raise funds to support research for LGMD2I/R9.
