Meet Our Presenter:
Kelly Maynard
President / Founder Little Hercules Foundation
Kelly launched Little Hercules Foundation on January 1, 2013, after her youngest son, Jackson, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at the age of five. After desperately searching for a treatment for her son, only to find none, Kelly decided to leave her career and invest all her time and energy toward Duchenne. As President of Little Hercules Foundation, Kelly focuses on patient access and assisting other Duchenne families. She advocates with regulatory agencies regarding drug approvals, develops critical partnerships within the Duchenne and rare disease community, and testifies on legislation that directly impacts families and patients living with all rare diseases. Kelly is committed to providing support to all of those affected by Duchenne. In July 2021, Kelly was appointed to the Ohio Rare Disease Advisory Council by Governor Mike Dewine. Prior to Little Hercules Foundation, Kelly served the State of Ohio for over 20 years in various capacities, including government regulation, law enforcement, and program management. Most recently, she served as Program Administrator for the Department of Insurance.
