We are holding a fundraiser on August 16, 2014 at St. Leonard Church, Berwyn, IL in hopes to raise $50,000 for a handicap accessible bedroom, bathroom, and ceiling lift for Lee a 3rd grader at Irving School in Berwyn and parishioner at St. Leonard.
Lee has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) which is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. DMD patients typically don't live to be 30 years old...but hopefully that will change with research and advancements.
Lee's health has been depleting quickly and now he requires a wheel chair to and from school. On a regular basis he is not able to perform the tasks he did only one week ago!

Thank you!
