Trek for Gus
Tax deductible
I would like to introduce a friend of mine, Gus. Gus will be bound to a wheel chair by the age of 15. He will likely take his last breath before 30. This horrible future will happen if medicine does not advance beyond today. I am trekking up a mountain trying to help raise money for the ongoing research and development of medicine and treatments that will one day be a cure.
It's up to researchers to find a cure for Duchenne Muscular dystrophy. Duchenne affects around 1 in 3,600 boys, which results in muscle degeneration and premature death often before the age of 30.
Gus is now 10. The same age as my youngest child; Gage. I have watched Gus grow up, taken vacations with him and his family, watched in awe as Gus and my children play together as happy carefree children. I hope so very much for Gus to continue and grow and develop his trademark "happy go lucky" personality. One day when Gus is old and grey he can reflect on the wonderful life he has been blessed with.
On October 9th 2015, myself and 7 others will be trekking for 12 to 13 days to Mt, Everest base camp to raise money for the Duchenne alliance. Every dollar I raise will go directly to the Duchenne alliance, where they will use the money for the ongoing research and development of several promising drugs that will help all boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
My company, Full Circle International,Inc will match total donations up to $10,000. My hope is to raise $10,000 from private donations and match $10,000 to raise a total of $20,000 for finding a cure to end Duchenne.
Thank you very much for your valuable contribution, Kent Annis
