ABOUT KNIGHT HACKS
Thanks to the generosity of PTC Therapeutics and members of the community, PPMD has established PPMD Knight Hacks: Everyday Tips and Tricks for Families, in memory of Angela Knight.
One of Angela Knight’s enduring legacies is that she never let Duchenne stop her son Jack from doing everything he wanted in life. Whether it was creating travel adventures, finding accessible transportation when there seemed to be none, or setting Jack up for successful independent living in college, Angela always found a way to make things work.
Angela was loved by the PPMD community, and we hope her legacy lives on through Knight Hacks and every day actions taken by community members to support and lift each other up.
