My son was diagnosed with duchenne muscular dystrophy in 2005. This video is a short summary of his recent loss. After a routine echo-cardiogram we discovered Mitchell's heart is showing signs of heart weakness not typically seen in kids with DMD until the later stages of the disease. The significance of this is .... breathing complications and heart failure is the most common cause of death in young men with DMD. The road ahead will be dark and dreary, but we will do our best to provide some light, love and hope on the path for our young boy who faces a certain and difficult future. https://www.facebook.com/mitchellsjourney http://the-jones-family.blogspot.com/2006/04/mitchells-diagnosis.html https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mitchells-Journey/192859897410346

THE GREATER SYMPHONY I made this video last night to help the student body of Riverton High School catch the greater vision of Mitchell's Journey. These students are helping Mitchell's Journey raise money so we can help other families and I wanted them to understand a loose sketch of the disease and most importantly the human impact of DMD. In this video you'll hear and see Mitch say in his own words he was grateful to be alive. As miraculous as the human body is, with billions of cells working together as if choreographed to a most beautiful symphony ... perhaps the greater symphony isn’t found in our bodies but how we work together as a human family. Family and humanity: that is the greater symphony. instagram.com/mitchells_journey
