Join us on November 21st, for a partner workout at David's favorite gym, CrossFit First Down! Corey & Julia have graciously given their time and gym for the 5th year in a row to host an event. Come workout or cheer on our community during a fun day to honor David and raise funds to support our programs offered to boys and men living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Post-workout we will have coffee, bagels, mimosas and ... David's favorite donuts (while they last)! If working out is not your thing, there will be fun raffles, activities for the kids and a patch bar. Also, please sign-up by November 8th to snag a FYD t-shirt.
Help Us Bring Hope to Families Living with Duchenne
In August 2022, our world shifted forever when our joyful, curious, and kind-hearted son David was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) - a rare genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in every 3,500 boys. The diagnosis was devastating, but our journey has been one of learning, resilience, and unwavering hope.
Duchenne is more than a medical condition—it’s a daily challenge that affects families emotionally, physically, and financially. From costly medications and adaptive equipment to travel for clinical trials, funding educational and daily living support and home modifications, the burden can be overwhelming. And yet, every child deserves to live with dignity, joy, and opportunity—and every parent deserves to witness that.
Since launching Find Your David, we’ve been humbled by the generosity of our community. Over the past four holiday seasons, your support has helped us raise over $400,000, directly impacting families living with Duchenne. Together, we’ve:
Delivered nearly 400 holiday gift cards to families in need
Funded home accessibility upgrades
Supported clinical trial travel costs
Sponsored attendance at the PPMD annual conference
Backed JB’s Keys to DMD and their Bruins and adaptive ski programs
Contributed a $30,000 grant toward cardiac research in Duchenne
Launched an entrepreneurship program for those living with DMD
Launched a program intended to advance STEM skills in young men and boys living with DMD
Purchased a new TetraSki for Mount Sunapee’s adaptive ski program (NEHSA)
We invite you to be part of this journey. Your support brings joy, relief, and opportunity to families who need it most. Let’s make this holiday season one of hope, progress, and connection.
Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
