I am participating in the JettRide because I want to raise money to fight Duchenne. My brother Kyle has Duchenne so I would like to help him in any way I can. I want my brother to be able to run and play the games with his friends that he can’t now.

I want to be a JettRider for my friend, Jett McSherry and others.  This is an opportunity of a lifetime to be able to serve, raise money, and raise awareness of DMD to find a cure. I couldn’t imagine the sorrow and struggle for family and friends of those who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy.  All I can do is help.

I am participating in the 2012 Jettride for my cousin Kyle who has Muscular Dystrophy.  I want to raise money to find a cure to DMD so Kyle has the opportunity to run and play with his friends and family again.  I want to do this not only for Kyle, but for every other boy who has Duchenne, to give them hope.

My motivation for participating in the JettRide is to ride for my MDA campers. I am also riding for Josh Mansheim – a very close friends brother, and all those affected by DMD that I have not yet met.
