Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research

At the age of four, our grandson, Cooper, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It has been heartbreaking to watch this disease slowly redefine Cooper's life. I hope you will join us in supporting the research being done.

A fund has been created to support this specific work being

done by Dr. Kathy Mathews and her colleagues.

Our friend at the UI Foundation, Brittany Wellman, is personally overseeing this special fund. Her contact info is319-467-3492 or brittany-wellman@uiowa.edu.

Thank you! - Charlie and Pat Becker

Checks may be made out to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research, c/o Brittany Wellman, University of Iowa Foundation, P.O. Box 4550, Iowa City, IA 52244.
