Louie’s Grandpa Walks to Defeat Duchenne
Begins Sunday May 6, 2012

My name is Louie Facca. For the most part I am just a normal 4 year old playing with my cars and trains. But something happened to my muscles. The doctors call it Duchenne muscular dystrophy. If they don’t find medicine to help me, my dystrophin/protein of the muscle will die off and then my muscles will stop working. This disease puts kids in wheelchairs and gives them a shortened lifespan. Researchers need money to keep working on a cure.

This is my Grandpa Bob. He wants to help fund research to find a cure so he is going to walk 500 kilometres during the month of May. His walk goes from Owen Sound to London where he will pass through cities and towns until the end of May.
