Abe's Everest to End Duchenne Trek

Abe Dreher is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Hope for Gus.

Tax deductible

Hello - my name is Abe Dreher, I am 18 years old and when I was 6 years old my younger brother, Gus, was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the impact of my brother’s condition. As I grew older and learned more about the disease, the impact that it would have on both my brother’s and our family's lives revealed itself. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a progressive muscle-wasting disease. Gus has never been able to play sports or run around with his friends the way I have. In 2020 he lost the ability to walk and is now in a wheelchair full time.

I am joining the Everest to End Duchenne team in Nepal this March and hiking Everest Base Camp for my brother and everyone who lives with this awful disease. They cannot climb mountains, but we will do it for them and try to raise as much money as possible for the Hope for Gus Foundation to contribute to the research for a cure and a better quality of life.

Please donate if you can and thank you so much for your support!
