2008 MDA Stride & Ride

Grapevine Mills Mall
Stride and Ride for Research, For a Cure, For Hope
As alot of you know, Ashleigh and I lost our half brother Trae in Jan.1999 to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Our brother was such an inspiration to us as well as everyone that knew him. It has been hard not having him here with us and apart of our lives. Ashleigh and I take pride in raising money in memory of Trae every year. We hope that in our lifetime there is a cure for these children with muscular dystrophy. It is possible and we need your help to make this year extra special for us and the memory of our brother. There are thousands of people of all ages affected by a neuromuscular disease, right here in our communities. Funds raised through MDA special events help provide expert medical care at MDA clinics, MDA summer camps for youngsters, repair and purchase of wheelchairs and other equipment, and many more services. MDA also funds hundreds of top scientists worldwide seeking treatments and cures.
So Please, Help For Today...Hope For Tomorrow.
