In 2012 my oldest son, Jackson, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. At that time I had never heard of it and so began this journey.

After meeting with the doctor she ordered a routine bloodtest to make sure that there wasn't any underlying disorders before beginning supplements.
A few days after getting Jackson’s bloodwork done, I got a phone call from the Doctor. It is a day I will NEVER forget.
