  30 Days of MD: Hope Is a Powerful Weapon Against Duchenne

  Posted by Danielle "Dani" Liptak on September 22, 2021 at 2:12 pm

  Day 21 of 30 Days of MD’s story is Betty Vertin. She lives in Nebraska with a big family. Three of her sons are living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Their names are Max, 15, Rowen, 12, and Charlie, 10.

  The boys are living full lives. Our oldest is an active high school student participating in theater and music, and held down a summer job, and plans on attending college. The younger boys manage their school sports teams, take music lessons, and love spending time with family and friends.
