SEARCHING TO MAKE MIRACLES HAPPEN: Music is the Cure I lost both of my brothers to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. A slow, and devastating deterioration of muscles and neurological functions of the human body. I've devoted myself 110% to helping our network spread awareness of Muscular Dystrophy...the disease that took the lives of my younger twin brothers. Aryn James Brodsky passed away October 9th, 2010. And Erik Lawrence Brodsky passed on January 2nd, 2013...two of the bravest and strongest people I've ever known. For those who don't know, we combined a fundraiser and a contest. Where any donor who helps the cause (there's no minimum or maximum amount...just whatever is in your heart) will be put into a drawing to win one of many prizes, gift cards, show tickets, iPads, 500$, and other goodies that have been donated to us. The contest ends fairly soon and we aren't really close to our goal, so at this point I'm not really focusing on reaching the amount we were trying for...so instead, I've decided to make my last attempt to see if we are able to end with as much as we can, plus if results improve...the directors might let us extend the contest/fundraiser to continue longer, which would be such a blessing. The prizes are still being given away to you (the donors) and the gratitude, no matter the amount given, is endless. The smallest contribution can go the longest way. We are trying to take a group of MD patients to Disney as well as get them proper medications their families aren't able to afford. As well as the high level of care needed in their situations. I know what the loss feels like, so if I can get these kids a fun trip, and great health providers to give them as much time with their families as possible...I'll gladly do my part in taking as much action as I can. Millions of families suffer from Muscular Dystrophy and if my brothers were still here today, they would say "Help the others, big brother. Help the other families." Erik and Aryn were known for genuine concern for others, selflessness, and bravery beyond words. They passed away in our home, without warning, in their sleep. They were never hooked up to respirators, nor did they spend any time in hospitals. The goal is to get these funds to bring music into the lives of current patients in hospitals to bring them hope. To play and write songs for them, make them smile, and help low income families that are effected receive the proper medications they currently can't afford, with the Disney trip included. This is my chance to make a difference...so I'm going to do everything in my power, even if it's just asking my Network to see if they're able to contribute something, even if only a dollar. Any donation of any amount, like said, gets you into our contest. And it all goes to the families we are giving hope to, to bring music and proper medication to them, and even some to research on behalf of finding a cure. I watched this disease from start to finish with my brothers...so I know the pain these families are going through all too well. I HAVE to help them, no matter what it takes. To donate, the PayPal is: [email protected] This is my effort to make a difference. And even if you're unable to donate...I just want to thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart for reading this. Please don't hesitate to reach out and ask questions. I'd be more than happy to fill you in more on what MD is and how it effects families. If you have time, here are some more details on the fundraiser, we even have some prizes involved with those who donate.

Please, search your heart to try to make that small gesture. The more the merrier, but like said, any donation big or small gets us closer to bringing these kids hope. And if one simple donation can do that, then the value of money increases highly. All my love, -Justyn W. Brodsky
