The Birth of Girls Chronically Rock (What exactly is MD?)
<p>Girls Chronically Rock was birthed out of the need for community after I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy a few years back. A rare diagnosis, only affecting about 50,000 Americans, I realized many people don’t quite know what MD is. Before my life had to make room for it, I didn’t know what is was either. In honor ofRare Disease Day(today!), let’s answer some of the common MD questions:</p>
<p>What is muscular dystrophy?</p>
