We've grown to know a special boy with Muscular Dystrophy. His name is Cody, and he's eight - we adore him, he is one of the reasons we put this together. In the latest update we recieved, we were told Cody was doing well, but also losing the ability to walk and stand on his own. Being that he's in a special trial for a possible treatment, he goes back and forth from his home in New York to Philadelphia at least once a month and is exhausted, and although he is a very brave, courageous boy with an infectious smile, we know that he and his family are going through some very difficult times. So we ask you to do something simple: write a get well e-mail to Cody. Say whatever you want that is encouraging.  We will make sure that Cody and his parents get your messages of hope.

Thank you.

James Lacerenza and Jessica Burns

 

PS: Cody now has a blog at the bottom.
