Help A Local Child Fight Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

On Thursday, May 23, join in the fight of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy with Riley!

January 4, 2013 was the day Riley, a 7th grader at Rolling Hills Middle School, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Duchenne is fatal muscle wasting disease affecting 1 in 3,500 boys worldwide. It robs boys of their ability to walk, eat, speak, breath and eventually takes their lives. Many boys lose their fight before they reach age 20. To date, there is no cure or treatment to stop the progression of Duchenne.

Riley is beginning to lose his ability to walk, and to make matters worse, this devastated family is now dealing with significant financial difficulties.

Celebrate Riley’s 13th Birthday and help support this amazing boy and his family! Food, entertainment, raffle, community & of course...BIRTHDAY CAKE!

Proceeds raised will go to support Riley and his family as well as fund research through Parent Project to End Muscular Dystrophy and the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
