Jesse Wenger (front row, far left), one of "Jerry's kids", attends summer camp every year.
We would like to invite everyone to watch the upcoming MDA Telethon on KGAN (CBS) this upcoming weekend, September 5 and 6th. I know, it is easy to be annoyed at yet another fund raising show on TV, however to our family, it’s not just a show. When Jesse was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy the staff from MDA stepped in to help; supplying us with information and giving us moral support and has helped us in countless ways in these past years. Jesse has been attending MDA Summer Camp at Camp Courageous yearly since the age of six which is funded through the telethon and other fundraisers. In addition, the ongoing research that is funded by MDA is vital in finding a cure and/or therapies for Muscular Dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases. To our family, MDA is an integral part of our lives and we are so thankful for their support!
