Come have fun bouncing with your families to support a local Covington boy, Gavin Carlone, diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Funds raised will provide ongoing medical care for Gavin.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed in childhood, affecting approximately 1 in every 3,500 male births. Duchenne results in progressive loss of strength. The progressive muscle weakness leads to serious medical problems, particularly issues relating to the heart and lungs. Young men with Duchenne typically live into their late teens to early twenties.

With awareness and fundraising, there is hope for the future that maybe in a few short years, there may be a treatment for Gavin and thousands of boys like him.
