About this user
Our son, Ryan Karlin is a 7 year old boy, who lives in the Chicago suburb of Naperville, Illinois. Ryan, the youngest of four children, is a 2nd grader at White Eagle Elementary School who enjoys all kinds of activities.
Ryan was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy on April 15, 2008. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or DMD is a genetic disease, which affects 1 in 3,500 boys. There is currently no cure. All DMD kids die in their late teens or early twenties. Boys experience degenerative muscle weakness and loss of ambulation usually by age 12.
Rally for Ryan is dedicated to finding a cure for this devastating disease. All proceeds raised will go to researchers that are diligently trying to find
treatments, and ultimately a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
With your generosity and support, our vision to find a cure for Ryan and other boys can become a reality.
Please join us and help support Rally for Ryan!
