We can't afford to be subtle. There's just no time.
Trey is a loveable, handsome, smart, amazing 5 year old boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Diagnosed on his 5th birthday with DMD, we constantly wish we could STOP the hands of time. WE NEED A CURE NOW!!!
DMD virtually wastes every muscle in a young boy’s body until a fertile young mind is trapped inside a useless body. These children learn to walk and that will be taken away. They learn to run and jump and that will be taken away. They learn to sit up and that will be taken away. They learn to hug their moms and dads and that will be taken away. During teenage years heart and lung problems begin and their bodies eventually become unable to fight the inevitable complications. Reality has us facing the fact that most boys do not make it into their 20’s.
We're fighting for Trey and for the lives of the 20,000 boys who are born every year with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It knows no race, no ethnicity, and it needs not a family history…there is no cure and it can happen to ANY family. Since modern medical research has made such monumental advances against many diseases, we have come to expect treatments for practically every illness. It is shocking to learn that Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which affects one in every 3,500 boys, STILL HAS NO CURE. But finally, thanks to recent scientific breakthroughs, THERE IS HOPE!
We need your help. Our goal is huge and our need is great. Please do not Trey and over 400,000 boys around the world succumb to this disease. We know that with the scientific team working day and night we can beat this if we have the funds to do so.
On June 19th, 2010 we will be summiting Trey up the Manitou Incline in Manitou Springs, Colorado with a group of approximately 50 individuals to raise awareness and raise funds that will go directly into the hands of the researchers. All donations are 100% tax deductible.
Please consider donating generously. We are looking for a $25,000 title sponsorship. We are looking for small donations and big donations. We are looking to save our sons life. Time is not on our side…we have no time to waste.
Help us Save this lifetime of boys. Save a son. Save a grandson. Save a brother. Save a nephew. Save a cousin. Save a great grandson. Save a student. Save a friend. Please save my little boy.
With Love & Hope and Many Thanks,
Kasey Groven & Cori Steingraeber
