Hope you all enjoyed the pictures I included in the last post and also hope you all are looking forward to more posts to come regarding several topics including what Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is and the MDA Muscle Walk 2013 which I will give you insight on now! :)
The MDA Muscle Walk started years ago and according to the website is the largest walk event funding research and services for people with any of more than 40 muscle-damaging diseases. The best thing to compare it to to understand what its like is very similar to how a breast cancer or March of Dimes walk would run. This coming year will be my 3rd year I've been involved in our local walk. I walk in honor of my brother and to me its just another way to celebrate him as well as support other families who are currently dealing with a related muscle disease. Ways to help out with this coming year's Muscle Walk is by; donating any amount your able to, register to walk with our Team Alex's Angels and raise donations, or even word of mouth is always appreciated to spread the word about a great cause.
