knew that our lives had been unde-niably altered orever. We had lostcontrol o the most important thingto every parent - the health o yourchild. Our hearts break everyday dueto the pain and the stress o eelinglike there isn’t anything in your pow-er that you can do. It is so terribly di-cult to look at our son and see himcry over not being able to walk andwanting to so badly. Te eeling o helplessness that we have is beyondwords. Each day, we see him strugglewith some o the smallest things thatwe so easily take or granted. Terehave been times in which I havedreamed o what it would be like tosee my son walk down the hall to-wards me when I pick him up romschool, jump in the shower when weare getting ready to go somewhere orplaying school sports with his bud-dies. Tese images oten play overand over in my head.“Five years ago, God blessed uswith our second son. As you canimagine, we were truly devastatedto learn the news that he too wasdiagnosed with DMD. He once toldus that it makes him so sad that hisbrother is in a wheelchair. Fightingback the tears, I couldn’t help butthink that he too might have this di-cult road ahead o him.“Tough our lives are not simpleand the road we travel is not easy, wehave aith in the Lord Jesus Christthat one day our rainbow will shineagain. We love our boys and cherisheach and every moment with them.We will continue to pray or a cureor both o our children and all boysaected by DMD so that no one willever again have to eel pain o thesewords written in this letter – Godbless.”Amen … and here’s to the cure be-ing discovered ASAP … and in themeantime there is the hope o stem-ming the disease’s progress with de- velopments like Dr. Rhodes VEC-OR machine that utilizes electricalstimulation o precise areas o thebody.
Glenn’s example
O her late son, who was the im-petus or the event that grew into theWings or Lie undraiser, Mikulaktold us, “Glenn touched everyonewho met him with his ability to bepositive and happy while acing suchan unair ate. He lived his 18 yearsas a dreamer and a doer. He will beremembered or his courage and willcontinue to be an inspiration.”“Glenn’s legacy to all o us is the ex-ample o achievement under duress;o hope where hopelessness mightseem the answer; o lie lived to theullest under the constant shadow o death,” one anonymous riend said.“Designing and building is my pas-sion. I try to use all that I have andmake the best o it. I anticipate thecure in the uture. While it’s gettingharder … or me everyday physically,I am doing all I can … I hope I’m aninspiration to other people,” Glenntold us when he took his 10,000-pieceK’Nex ship to WCHS or display hissenior year. And perhaps acknowl-edging his pending ate on a not-too-distant horizon, he added, “Tis shipwill be my legacy.”
