Leon’s muscular dystrophy braces
Donation protected
Some of you know and some of you have no idea, but I have a type of muscular dystrophy know as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease or CMT. Here is a link that explains about CMT.CMT
I have had multiple foot and ankle surgeries over the years and have been wearing afo braces for about 10 years now. My condition is slowly getting worse as I lose muscle strength and balance control.
Over the past two years, I have fought with my insurance on getting braces covered that would help me keep my job and be an “active” member of society. They only want to pay for the older, less expensive braces that no longer work for me.
I am asking for support from my friends and family to help me raise the money needed to get these braces. They are only made in California and from testimonials I’ve seen; these braces have enhanced lives so that people with CMT can live full enriching lives.
Here is a link to the braces I am trying to get.http://heliosbracing.com/
I have a wife(Kimberly) and three beautiful boys(Nicholas, Liam, and Conor) that depend on me a husband and a father. I want to be the best I can be for them and our future. I want to keep working as long as I can and be able to keep up with my growing children.
With the help of my friends/family, I hope I can raise enough money to get these braces and let my family know that I will never give up on them or myself.
*Any amount raised over my goal will donated to CMT research*
