Last weekend was the MDA muscle walk. The best part of the walk to me was the speech that Bill gave for the "Why I walk" segment. He did a great job and I was very proud of him for standing up in front of at least 500 people telling them what it meant to our family to be walking for the MDA. His speech went like this:
Hi, my name is Bill. This is my wife Angela, our daughter Jocelyn, and our son Logan. Our team name is Logan's Hope. When we were asked to do the "Why I walk" segment, I would say that our team name would explain it best. We walk for Logan's hope. Logan was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in August. After getting his diagnosis it was clear to us that there was physically nothing we could do to cure his condition. The funds we have raised for the MDA will go toward the research of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. In that, it gives us hope that there will be a better quality of life for Logan and all those who share this condition. I'm proud to say we have raised about $7,500.00. Thank you to our team for your effort, love, and support for our son. It truly is amazing to see how family, friends, neighbors and people you have never met are willing to give their time and money to help. Thank you all again and God bless.
Our experience with MDA walk was extremely empowering. We all put on our boxing gloves and put up a huge fight. Duchenne you will not win and we have just kicked your ass!
