Yet another year has flown by as we continue to Derail Duchenne!  We are gearing up for our Picnic in the Park July 10 – this year we are LIVE and In Person!! We are so excited to be able to gather together FINALLY!
​
We have a great venue planned this year with 2 awesome Bands!  3 Pews Back will kick us off at 5 pm and Shadow of Doubt will rock us Tom Petty style throughout the night.

Our awesome Kid’s and adult Games are back along with Snickers the Balloon Artist.  We will run our awesome raffles, Silent Auction, Bingo and side boards. It will be ready for a great family friendly night!
​
Dairy Queen, Mama Mia’s Sausage, Zydeco and Southern Thangs food trucks will provide all the yummy food we need to celebrate.  German Central’s open bar and amazing Beer will be flowing.

On a Family Note.....

The boys are all doing great, continuing to grow up way too fast.  Wade celebrated his Holy Confirmation and 8th Grade Graduation this Spring.  We can’t believe our time at St. Albert the Great has come to an end, they have been an amazing lifeline in our life.  Wade is off to North Royalton High School next year, where he will join Owen, who will be a Senior!

Owen had a very good academic year at NORO.  Of course Covid made it challenging but we were so lucky that the school worked very well with him so he was on site but virtual most of the time.  It is amazing how we can find solutions when we work together.  I am certain that not all Duchenne families have such a supportive school system, so for that we are grateful.

​Rutger is 19 now, oh goodness!  He is at CSU and still doing great working toward his Chemical Engineering degree.  He has a beautiful girlfriend (inside and out) Bre, we love her so!!!!  They are together constantly and we are so pleased at how this young man is turning out.  

Tony and I are doing well.  We managed through this last year, keeping us all together and navigating all the Covid regulations.  We are so relieved to see this pandemic fading into the past.
 
We are looking forward to an amazing time of Fellowship and Gathering on July 10.  We so hope you can join us as we have missed you all.
 
God Bless you and see you soon
