I want to dedicate this week’s Friday Shout Out to my friend Kathy and her team Gals for Cal!
This great group of women have come together to raise awareness and funds to fight Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Did you know that Duchenne is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed in childhood? It’s a very progressive muscle wasting disease primarily affecting boys and right now there is no cure.
On Sunday the Gals for Cal will compete in the SheRox Triathlon — this will be the team’s second triathlon. The group was formed in 2009 and competed in the Danskin Triathlon in honor of now 8-year old Calvin. For most this was their first Tri but it didn’t stop them from raising over $25,000! Now their hoping to reach that goal again in honor of Calvin, and three others boys Keelan, Jake and Jett. You can check out the Gals site for more information and to make a donation.
I’m very proud of my friend Kathy, who prior to this had one 5k to her credit and now she’s about to be a two time triathlete!
Go Gals for Cal — I hope you all rock it this weekend!
Awww Michelle! You made me cry when I read this.
Thanks for the support. You are a great friend!
Love Ya, Kay
