Bentley is an extraordinary 12-year-old with high-functioning autism, facing a relentless battle against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). This progressive condition is rapidly weakening his muscles, making everyday activities more challenging and requiring constant medical care, therapy, and adaptive equipment to maintain his mobility and quality of life. His fight is ongoing, and his needs are urgent.

Bentley’s condition affects every aspect of his life—walking, standing, and even completing simple daily tasks. With each passing month, his strength declines, making physical and occupational therapy critical to slowing the progression. Without proper support, his ability to remain independent is at risk. His family must continually modify his home, ensure he has access to mobility aids like custom leg braces, and prepare for the next stages of his medical care at Duke and UNC Chapel Hill.

Despite these challenges, Bentley approaches life with unwavering courage and curiosity. His love for mapping, video games, and art reflects his vibrant personality, but the reality is that his future depends on the care and resources he receives today.
