My name is Josh M. I have Beckers Muscular Dystrophy. When I was two
years old Mom and Dad noticed my
upper body swayed when I walked. Doctors
blamed it on arthritis. When I was six I couldn't keep my balance. I would fall alot. My parents took me to many doctors to no avail. One day when I was in terrible pain Mom took me to a new doctor. He had an idea what I had and done blood test. A persons normal blood count is 100 to 200. Mine was 6,000. I went to the MDA clinic where 12 doctors worked hard with me. A muscle biopsy determined it was Beckers Muscular Dystrophy. This means your muscles have to have dystrophin to keep them working or they get damaged and weak over time. I had very little. I have to take pain medication and physical therapy. I had a stroke the end of last year, and now have grandmal seizures. I must have braces on my legs to help me. I have good and bad days. I try to stay positive and focused on the good God has given me in my life. I have a wonderful Mom and Dad..(Janet and Donald)..A sister, Laura..age 18. A brother, Casey..age 17. Another brother, Austin..age 9. God has blessed me with a wonderful family. I love John Wayne, or any westerns, toys, animals, arts and crafts. Please everyone, say a prayer for me. I am only 13. I need everyones prayers and love.

Poem Artwork


For you , Josh

And angel holds your hand
Each and every day
If you are watching
John Wayne, or out at play
She holds on tightly
She never lets go
When you need her most
She will know

And angel holds your hand
She's always with you
How proud she is sweet Josh,
Of everything you do
When you hurt real bad
And its hard to smile
She is there to comfort you
Rest on her shoulder awhile

And angel holds your hand
She will always be there
She will never leave you
Or go anywhere
She is here to guide you
And help you along
She will give you inner strength
Help you stay strong

Josh, Keep that smile and
Try to understand
You never walk alone
When an angel holds your hand
