What can Jesus offer a child with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?

Initially, I was hesitant to post this because I know not everyone in the Duchenne Community holds to the Christian faith. After considering the circumstances and questions a Duchenne diagnosis brings, I don’t know if there is a more relevant post than this. When a child is diagnosed with Duchenne, life and death are brought […]

My Hero Turns 8 Today…
