MDA Shout-Out

I would like to give a shout-out to the New Mexico MDA. They had a lovely holiday party last weekend, and I was able to talk about the book for a few minutes.

We all need to keep spreading the word and raising awareness about muscle disorders! 


... I also found this awesome MDA blog for teenagers and young adults.  Check it out!
