Our personal message:

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.

Our son Calvin, now 7, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy when he was 5 years old. Duchenne is the most common fatal genetic childhood disorder. It is a very progressive muscle wasting disease primarily affecting boys. Most boys are wheelchair dependant by age 12 and most do not live beyond their 20's. There is no cure.

Last September, we met a very remarkable woman named Christine McSherry. She also has a son with Duchenne who is now 13. After her son Jett was diagnosed, she started a foundation dedicated to fighting this devastating disease. The Jett Foundation, in collaboration with Mass General Hospital, recently opened a new multidisciplinary clinic dedicated to helping our boys. This clinic is the first of it's kind in New England. In addition to supporting the clinic, the Jett Foundation is also supporting research to fight this disease. We have started this fundraising page to support the work of the Jett Foundation in hope that Calvin and all the boys living with Duchenne will live longer, healthier lives. Thank you for supporting the work of the Jett Foundation. And thank you for caring for Calvin and all the boys like him. Your help gives us hope.

Cindy and Curtis Quitzau
