My sons Everett and Austin died from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Austin died in 2012 at age 16. Everett died in 2017 at 22. I learned a lot being their dad. They taught me so much about what is important in life. Deep in the soul. So I create The Everett and Austin Project in October of 2018 in their honor and as a way of giving back to the developing parts of the world, in particular Sub-Saharan Africa. The Everett and Austin Project and it's 2 fundraising arms, Hike for Duchenne and Hike for Africa, exists to bravely face Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and other rare diseases in developing countries. We started in Uganda and have started helping people in Kenya, Nigeria, Cameroon, Zambia and Rwanda. Plus we are helping people in India and Nepal as well. We continue to grow in our reach thanks be to God. It is a true joy to help put a smile on peoples' faces. Join us and God bless you.
