About The Stone Circle of Friends

Listen to Edibell Stone Podcast

We are a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization created to accelerate the cure for Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy (MMD), the most common form of adult Muscular Dystrophy.  Our goal is to raise awareness and funding for this debilitating illness that affects 750,000 people worldwide.

Early in 2007, Nicholas (9) and Elliott (7) Stone were diagnosed with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy. This genetic disease causes a progressive wasting of the muscles in the face, neck, hands and feet and of internal organs, including the brain, heart, lungs and gastrointestinal system. Approximately 1 in 8,000 people are diagnosed with MMD.  At this time, there is no treatment or cure.

The Stone family needs your help in funding vital research to help our boys and others with MMD live healthy and productive lives.

Although our organization was formed in April 2007, we have already been able to contribute more than $300,000.00 to MMD research – thanks to the concern and great generosity of our family, old friends and the many new friends we have met on our journey.

    Fortunately, due to recent research discoveries, we will likely be the first generation in history to witness a breakthrough for MMD. This is an exciting time to get on board. A cure is near. Join us to help make a change in the lives of at least 40,000 Americans and even more people worldwide.
