Jett Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 by Christine and Stephen McSherry after their son Jett was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It began with a focus on advancing Duchenne muscular dystrophy research and has since expanded to offer direct services and educational activities for families affected by Duchenne and other neuromuscular disorders. The programs are designed to meet the needs of affected families from every city and town, regardless of location or resources. The foundation is based in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In 2022, it announced a collaboration with AbbVie on its subretinal and suprachoroidal trials for wet age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, signaling engagement with external partners on health research. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector and concentrates on both direct services for families and efforts related to biomedical research in Duchenne and related conditions.
