John who issued the first 100-Step Challenge posted the following on his Condo Association’s Facebook page:
Some of you know me as the Directory Guy, others may think of me as Scooter Man. However you think of me, I am also a guy with Kennedy’s Disease.
In 2005 I was diagnosed with KD. I have been fortunate and continue to function well with the help of my trusty Hurrycane, Nitro Rollator and Scooter. Since it is genetic, I received the gene mutation from my mother and unfortunately, I may be passing it on to future generations of my family. That is why I am passionate about finding a cure.
Last year, my 100-Step Challenge fundraising campaign raised $35,000, but we need to do more. I can’t do it alone.
Will you join me in the fight against Kennedy’s Disease?
John
