My name is Matthew Martin and I live in Forney. I started The MGlen Foundation. Our mission is to have young boys with Duchenne throw out ceremonial first pitches for young men who can no longer throw, whom are both affected by this disease. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy affects 3,500 boys every year, and greatly limits their lifespan, putting them in wheelchairs early on as their muscles deteriorate.
In order to fight this disease head on, we need to spread awareness about this terrible disease and involve the community. Over the past two baseball seasons, the MGlen Foundation has had the opportunity to throw out the first pitch in Grand Prairie, Texas and in Frisco, Texas. We have another opportunity to throw out the first pitch for the Texas Ranger affiliate Frisco Roughriders game on June 14th of this year. We are also in the process of scheduling 3 other opportunities this summer as well.
We are in need of donations to help us keep this mission going. If you would like to donate you can respond and I will provide our link to PayPal or I will send you the address if you'd like to send us a check.
If you can't donate to us please pray for our foundation and the cause.
Thanks,
Matthew Martin
