A charity event...
My aunt Carla is raising money for a small boy in our community with muscular dystrophy (details below). We have decided to hold a raffle at the earring party to try and help her out. We will be selling raffle tickets (1 for $3 or 2 for $5) to win a pair of earrings. I will also be donating .50 cents for every pair of earrings that is purchased at the party.

I will be able to accept cash and check for both earrings and raffle tickets.

Fund Raiser!

Caden Lindquist is almost 10 years old. He is the oldest of three children and lives with his family in West Valley City.

Caden was stricken with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) when he was 6 years old. DMD is a disorder that involves rapidly- worsening muscle weakness. It becomes apparent when an affected child begins to walk. Progressive weakness and muscle wasting (a decrease in muscle strength and size) caused by degenerating muscle fibers, begins in the upper legs and pelvis but can also affect other areas if the body.

Other symptoms of DMD are difficulty with motor skills (running, hopping, jumping), difficulty when rising from a sitting or lying position or when climbing stairs, changes to overall posture (scoliosis), impaired breathing, lung weakness, and cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease causing weakness that interferes with pumping ability). Currently Caden requires special equipment such as night splints and he is confined to a manual wheelchair 75% of the time. Most children with this disease don’t require a wheelchair until the age of 10 to 12. The average life expectancy for patient afflicted with DMD varies. There is no known cure for DMD.

Of all the things that Caden has gone through, all that he will continue to go through, and all that the family needs in order to care for him at home, all Caden wants is to spend time with his family. We hope to provide him and his family with a cruise trip so that they can escape and spend time with each other. Other proceeds will go to provide Caden with an electric wheelchair and also pay for medical costs.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP TOWARDS THIS EFFORT!
