By the way,…

running in the “GR.1K” will help find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy!

The majority of your entry fee will go to support Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD). PPMD is dedicated to the cure of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Over the past 17 years, Mike and DeAnne Friar, parents of two boys with Duchene- Kevin and Kyle, have hosted golf outings and silent auctions to raise over $200,000 for PPMD and other charities.

For more information on Duchenne, please visit the PPMD website – www.parentprojectmd.org.
