Our story…
The Sam Cooper team is on a mission to raise $5,000 to provide essential mobility equipment for some amazing kids battling Muscular Dystrophy. These kids face incredible challenges every day as they gradually lose their strength, but together, we can make a significant difference in their lives.
Let's get to $5,000!
Mobility is crucial for children with Muscular Dystrophy. Losing strength can mean losing independence. We aim to raise $5,000 to purchase two foldable power wheelchairs, giving these brave kids the freedom to move, play, and live their lives more fully. These wheelchairs are more than just equipment—they’re a lifeline to independence, joy, and normalcy.
How Can You Help?
There are several ways you can contribute to our team goal:
• Participate in the Hero 5k: Whether you join us in person or opt for the virtual run, your participation will directly support our fundraising efforts. Lace up your shoes and run, walk, or roll with us! Click the "Join Team" button!
• Donate: If running isn’t your thing, you can still make a tremendous impact by donating. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal and helps us provide these life-changing wheelchairs.
• Spread the Word: Share our mission with your friends, family, and social networks. The more people who know about our cause, the closer we get to reaching our goal.

These kids are true heroes, facing each day with incredible courage. By supporting the Hero 5k, you become a hero too. Together, we can give these children the gift of mobility and independence. Imagine the joy and relief on their faces when they receive their new wheelchairs, knowing that they can move freely and explore their world.
Thank you for your generosity and support. Let’s make this Hero 5k unforgettable and life-changing for kids with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy!
