My Story…
This year marks my fourth time running the Falmouth Road Race as part of Team Jett, and I’m honored to continue supporting the Jett Foundation and the Duchenne muscular dystrophy community.
I am running in honor of my nephew, Walker, who was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) right after his first birthday. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common fatal pediatric disorder. This progressive neuromuscular disorder leads to a loss of motor, pulmonary, and cardiac function, ultimately resulting in premature death.
Jett Foundation empowers people and families impacted by Duchenne muscular dystrophy through the development of transformative programming, educational opportunities, and ongoing support for every stage of a Duchenne journey.
While there is currently no cure, advances in research, treatments, and supportive care are helping individuals with DMD live longer and fuller lives than ever before. Organizations like the Jett Foundation play a critical role in supporting families through education, advocacy, financial assistance, and community programs.
Running this race is deeply personal to me. Every mile is for Walker and for every child living with Duchenne. Being able to run, move my legs freely, and cross the finish line is something I will never take for granted. I’m proud to run in support of those who may one day lose that ability and to help raise awareness and funding for families impacted by Duchenne.
Thank you so much for supporting Team Jett and helping make a difference.
