I’m too busy doing the things I love to dwell on
my disability. MDA has helped make that
possible for people with neuromuscular
diseases. Because of the medical care and
essential equipment like my wheelchair
provided by MDA. muscular dystrophy doesn’t
stop me from achieving.
Even though I have muscular dystrophy, I got an
education and started my own business. I won
18 gold medals at the National and International
Games for the Disabled. I am a husband and
father.
Thanks to MDA, my abilities are what matter. Scon
