Attention, Irregulars!
I need your help! I’ve just heard of a terrible genetic defect called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which affects young boys and puts them in wheelchairs as early as age eight. It has a one-hundred percent fatality rate and usually kills by the late teens or early twenties. There is no known cure, but science is on the edge of finding one. They just need donations to continue their research. What can we do? Make others aware of this cause! Shopdrop the address of
this site, put it online, and make sure everyone knows they can make a difference!Information on how to donate can be found on the site the above link directs you to.
