Short Bio

I am a 68, soon to be 69 yr young , Italian male. I contracted EDMD muscular dystrophy at age 49 (2002) via a muscle biopsy. I had MD before that, I just didn’t know it. I have been confined to a wheelchair for the last 10 years and boy it is not easy living with limited mobility.

I am blessed with a beautiful wife who tends to me even though she didn’t realize how hard it would be to care for me and she is ill herself with osteoporosis and arthritis. She is a real trooper taking care of me every day.

I am appreciative to MDA for their support..
