Hi, I am a medical student in Romania and I want to thank you for taking such good care of Alex. You and your family are his heros. In my country there is almost noting that can be done in dmd. Because of you he will have a decent and longer life. Best of wishes from Romania.

i am so sorry, i know how terrible this disease is. its ok to cry. when it seems like everything is bad try and look for the many blessings that are always present in life. "when one door closes another opens but we often look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us" you'll be in my prayers!

Hello. I'm Alexander. So, you can call me Alex too. And I have DMD too... That thing is terrible. I'm 22 and doctors say that my life is shorten by 30 years and cannot be longer. But I feel so energized and inspired in all aspects of life... I dream about own family, wife, children... But this DMD is suffocating. I wish all the people around the world were free from this mess. And I hope Alex will aquire great life.
