Support Cure Duchenne With the Reven Pack
Inspired by the incredible story captured in “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin” documentary about Mats “Ibelin” Steen—now live on Netflix— a Norwegian WoW® player who suffered from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. You can add the Reven Pack to your collection and support CureDuchenne to accelerate research toward a cure for Duchenne and improve care for individuals worldwide living with the disease.
All proceeds from The Reven Pack sales will support CureDuchenne, a global nonprofit leader in research, patient care, and innovation for improving and extending the lives of individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive neuromuscular disease.
“Reven” means “the fox” in Norwegian, and this curious little companion can’t wait to discover the secrets of Azeroth by your side, no matter if you journey through the depths of Khaz Algar in modern World of Warcraft or the shattered world of Cataclysm Classic. In addition, the pack also includes the Reven’s Comfy Carrier for modern WoW—an adorable transmog backpack item with a sleeping Reven.
