LGMD Awareness Day, also known as Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Day, is observed worldwide every September 30. Established in 2015, the day aims to increase understanding of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), a group of rare genetic neuromuscular diseases characterized by the weakening of skeletal muscles, particularly those around the hips and shoulders. Symptoms can appear at any age and may include difficulties with mobility, such as gait abnormalities and challenges in climbing stairs. While there is no cure for LGMD, treatment focuses on symptom management and preserving mobility through physical and occupational therapy. Individuals are encouraged to learn more about LGMD, share information, donate to support organizations, and promote awareness on social media.
