The Cure Duchenne Crusaders will be climbing to the summit of Mt. Rainier in Washington state to raise money and awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Bill Procko, father of a DMD boy, created this event and will be our team leader on August 29 - September 1 as we brave the elements to reach 14,411 feet. Our team, made up of 3 dads and 3 moms of DMD boys, 2 scientists, 2 Catchpenny band members, 1 film guy, and CureDuchenne’s business development specialist will brave the elements to reach the summit. Each of us is comitted to raising one dollar per foot, or $14,411, which will fund Duchenne research. You can donate to our cause by sponsoring here: http://www.firstgiving.com/debracureduchenne
Bill and Kim Procko also surprised us this week when they announced they will fly out from Florida to attend the “2009 Dealing for Duchenne” celebrity poker tournament at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. In addition, Bill and Kim will be bringing with them close to 100 auction items that they have been collecting over this past year. Chris and Amy Martin, hosts of this event will work with the Procko’s to make this even better than last year’s blockbuster event.
Together we can…Cure Duchenne!
