ZACK HEGER FOUNDATION

The Zack Heger Foundation is a 501(c)3 charitable foundation started in honor of our son Zack who was diagnosed with a fatal muscle wasting disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, when he was just 3 years old. Initially, our goal was to fund vital research for a treatment or cure for DMD... Our experience with Zack taught us that wherever we went posed a challenge - handicap accessibility does not equate to access for all. As a family, we were continuously disappointed and saddened that he was not able to participate in basic activities like walking or rolling through a park, or having lunch with friends... Today, our commitment and purpose is to collaborate with cities, towns, and private recreational providers to make existing spaces accessible and inclusive for all!
