Giving the gift of 40!!
March 27th is a milestone for Tanmeet Sethi, Zubin’s mom. She turns 40 on that day and to celebrate her life as well as honor her son’s, she is doing a fundraiser for Zubin’s Wish. See, all she really wants for her birthday is for her son to have the life he deserves. She wants him to walk, run, and live! She wants a cure for DMD. So on this auspicious occasion, find it in your heart to gift her the most important birthday gift you can give this year. Think about a donation of $40 or a multiple there of all the way up to $400. And give her and all boys with DMD the gift of a lifetime!
This is timely as we finish a funding drive for an exciting new trial and hopeful anti-fibrotic molecule, halofuginone. We are teaming up with other family DMD foundations to make this drug a reality and get it through the trials needed to make it available to our boys. This is an inspiring feat of activism, initiative and determined hope. Help us make this dream a reality and give the gift of 40′s!! $40-80-120-160-200-240-280…$400 and even farther if you dare!

Thanks for supporting Steve on his ride!
“
Steve rode UPHILL from Seattle to Vancouver on August 13-14 and thanks to generous support, raised almost $5000 for research this year! He is incredibly grateful for this outpouring and felt emotional as he rode for Zubin and all the boys with DMD… ”At times the ride gets pretty emotional for me as I think about why I am riding and what the future holds for Zubin and my entire family. Its times like this that I am grateful to have all of you to draw energy from to continue turning the pedals both on the bike and in my life.”
