I am a Mother....

I am a mother.


I am a mother of one wonderful son.

He is good looking, smart, funny, sensitive, compassionate.....& dying.

You may be a mother of children. Most likely grown and married...but mostly healthy and living on their own.  So as a parent with healthy children, you may not know what it is like to watch your child deteriote from a disease that has taken most boys before they are twenty years old.   Its kind of scary. No. sorry... it is scarry. Very scary.   


It is scary because you feel you can't do anything to save them.  You want to SAVE them. You need to save them from  this horrible disease.

I am a mother of a boy dying from an incurable disease. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

As a mother, I am fighting for my son's LIFE because no one else will.   His uncles, aunts, grandparents, father, cousins and even life time friends will not help save his life.  I don't know why?  Maybe they just don't care the same way as his mother will.   But you will think at least his father will, but even if doesn't make an effort to save his son.  Maybe he just doesn't care, I don't know. 


As a parent, wouldn't you make some kind of an effort to save your child's life?  Wouldn't you care enough to want to save him/her?     Serious. Think about it.  A doctor just told you that your child may not live to twenty years old and there is no cure right now.


What would you do?  What are you going to do to change that statement?   Are you going to just sit there or are you going to FIGHT??!!  Are you going to fight?  and how long are you willing to fight for?  How strong is your love for your child...for this child?


Where is your heart today?  What are you going to do today to save a life? Are you with me in helping Research find a cure to save lives?  Are you willing to help make that difference? 


You can help right now and make a donation to PARENT PROJECT MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY (PPMD)- a non-profit organization who is closly working with CDC, NIH, Congress and many Researchers.

Are you a mother today? Are you a mother fighting to save a son's life?
