Armando's Run for WalkingStrong.org
DEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILY,
AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS RACES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS FOR MY PERSONAL ENJOYMENT. ON JANUARY 25TH 2015, I WILL RUN THE MIAMI MARATHON AND HALF MARATHON WITH NEW PURPOSE: I WILL BE RUNNING FOR THE WALKING STRONG ORGANIZATION. WALKING STRONG IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO FINDING THE CURE FOR DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY, A CAUSE THAT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. DUCHENNE IS THE MOST COMMON FATAL, GENETIC CHILDHOOD DISORDER, WHICH AFFECTS APPROXIMATELY 1 OUT OF EVERY 3,500 BOYS EACH YEAR WORLDWIDE. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS CAUSE VISIT WWW.WALKINGSTRONG.ORG
