My personal message:

Dear Family and Friends,

As many of you know, our sons, Gavin and Logan, were both diagnosed with a devastating disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).  Duchenne, is the most common and lethal genetic disorder for children.  DMD causes young boys to experience progressive muscle weakness, as their muscle cells "explode” and die…they don’t regenerate. 

Right now, Gavin and Logan lead relatively normal lives.  However, this will drastically change around the age of 10.  They will begin to experience difficulty in walking and simple tasks, such as holding a fork or even breathing will be an effort.  Right now, there is no cure for this disease. 

But there is hope!  We have partnered with CureDuchenne, a non-profit organization that is working diligently to achieve their mission ... to cure Duchenne muscular dystrophy.  They are aggressively funding cutting edge research that finally brings hope to families with Duchenne children.

Please join our fight!  Select the "GIVE NOW" button below, and your donation will help save the lives of thousands of boys worldwide...including Gavin's and Logan's.  If you would prefer to send a donation by check, please make it payable to:  CureDuchenneMail it to:   CureDuchenne, 3334 East Coast Hwy.  #157, Corona del Mar, CA  92625.  Please add a note on your check that it is in honor of Gavin and Logan.   You will receive a donation receipt directly from CureDuchenne.  

Our sincere thanks for your compassion and support.

Aaron and Shaun Goin
