 Lex's Run was created in 2008 as a way to help raise funds for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association. I was first diagnosed with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy Type 2 in 2004, after I began feeling symptoms
in my early 20's. Because I am living with MMD2, my involvement with this cause is two-fold: First, I would like to do all
I can to help the MDA raise funds to provide support to families like mine for services such as support groups, clinic visits
and durable medical equipment. The MDA is the leader in funding research for treatments and cures of diseases like mine. It
is my hope that they can find a cure before I discover that my daughter has inherited the disease. Secondly, by training and
running I hope to slow the disease process in myself.
