My 21-year-old brother Christopher suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a progressive disease that weakens the muscles, and there is no cure. My brother has been in a wheelchair since he was 10 years old. In 2009 he was given the gift of having a wish granted through The Make-A-Wish Foundation. Without hesitation, he announced that his wish was to go to Mets Spring Training.
Christopher has been a Mets fan since the day he was born thanks to our parents and to living just ten minutes away from the stadium.
