Running For Jack to Cure Myotonic Dystrophy - February 14, 2010

Jack Vassallo Fitzpatrick, Jack-a-Roo to his friends – loves trucks, Bob the Builder, telling jokes, and especially his twin sister, Ellie. Not so keen on chocolates and candy, though…he’s a bit of health nut. So rest assured, he will be on the sidelines cheering when his family and friends run the Austin Half Marathon on February 14, 2010 in his honor. Their goal is simple – to appeal to you for help and to support research to find a cure for myotonic dystrophy, a condition effecting Jack and close to a million people worldwide. They'll be lacing up their running shoes, but more important than running, is support and donations – and that’s where you come in. Please help by donating to the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation in Jack’s name.
