My name is Coulter Little and I am Alex's dad. When Alex was 9 years old, he was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). DMD slowly causes muscle loss. Over time, kids with DMD loose the ability to walk, and will have trouble with everyday tasks like brushing teeth and hugging a parent. For more information look here Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) .

Since his diagnosis, Alex has been pretty busy. He has flown to Ohio for two muscle biopsies, heads to UVA every six months for checkups and evaluations, and gets infusions at Children's Hospital in DC every Monday. One of his favorite things at Children's is visiting the Ryan Seacrest Studio.

Aleia (Alex's mom) and I created this page to help raise money for medical expenses. Right now we need to install a stairlift, and Alex was recently fitted for his first manual wheelchair. In the coming years he will need a power wheelchair, and we will need a vehicle that can carry it. We will also need to make the home accessible (ramps, bathroom modification, etc.).

All the expenses can seem overwhelming, but we know that with help we will be able to provide Alex with everything he needs to live his life to its fullest. We truly appreciate any and all help and give thanks to all who donate!
