Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - a boy that is missing the protein Dystrophin, which means his muscles weaken over time and at age 10 are in wheelchairs and without treatment rarely survive past (20 - 25) years! "My condition as got to the point in my life, where it has really started to affect me, I used to be able to eat food, now because my throat muscles have gone weaker that has left me not having a strong swallow, I told myself “I can’t sit here and feel sorry for myself, I need to do something about this” So I want to make more awareness and raise money so we can hurry up and get a treatment as soon as possible, if not a cure, a treatment at least so I can get my muscles in my throat strong again making it so I can eat and enjoy food while I wait for the cure! I am really passionate about this because I’m tired of suffering and I want them to waste no more time and fix this problem, politics red tape, clinical trial time, Ect… I’d rather die trying, than die without trying!"
