I’m running for CureCMD to help raise awareness of and funding for Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, and also to increase the impact of the CureCMD running team.

John

I have 2 reasons why I am running the Disney Half Marathon:
1) Its for our daughter, Gabbi who was diagnosed with (UCMD, Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy) a couple of years ago. Regardless of her limitations, she is a total
inspiration to us.
2) To help Cure CMD raise awareness and help raise funds for research and someday a cure for Congenital Muscular Dystrophy.

Leslie

I am a friend of Anne and Maia’s pediatrician. I have known Anne since medical school. She was an amazing medical student and doctor, but that achievement was nothing compared to her as a mother working tirelessly for her daughter, Maia. Please support CureCMD with us.

Nina

I would like to raise awareness and run for those affected with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy because struggling through a race is nothing compared to the challenges faced daily by those with CMD.
