Help bring Nirmal Khadka to the PPMD meeting

Nirmal Khadka is chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Nepal and President of the Rare Disease Society Nepal. He has worked tirelessly to grow resources in his country for people living with genetic muscle disease and for the first time, after applying for ten years in a row, has been granted a visa to come to the US. Now he just needs travel funds for him and his wife to spend ten days in the US and attend the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy Meeting in Texas at the end of June. Many of us have known Nirmal for years and appreciate the beautiful pictures of his homeland. One of my staff at MDA met Nirmal when she traveled to Nepal on vacation. Unfortunately travel costs are high right now -- the roundtrip flights for the two of them will be almost $5000 total and the hotel will be about $300/night. I am orchestrating this GoFundMe project to see if we can raise the dollars to get them to the PPMD meeting so that they can take back what they learn to their organization in Nepal. This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for them. Please help if you can.
