A word from Mitchell's parents

The 10th annual MRTR proved to be the best ever! $74,000.00 was raised and we hit another record for participants with 1500. Thanks for joining us in our cause to fight Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Thank you, TOM IZZO, MSU men's basketball coach, you were awesome!

Our volunteers are the biggest reason why MRTR has been so successful. They donate their time, energy, and resources to our cause. Thank you volunteers.

Our Gold sponsors, Meijer, Wolverine World Wide, and Merrell continue their support every year and we are grateful.

Please join us this year, August 15th, to fight DMD.

Thank you,

Sandy & Steve Peterson

How is Mitchell doing?


Mitch is finishing up his very successful 7th grade year at North. He was on the principal's honor roll for semester one, selected as Student of the Month for the month of March, and nominated for Student Council as a representative for the 7th grade students.

He is now just coming to terms with the Spartan loss to North Carolina. We have assured him 2010 looks very good for the possibility of a repeat to the Final Four for the Spartans. Go Izzo! Mitch is just switching his focus to the upcoming baseball season and the Tigers look like they are off to a better start then last year. At this time we will refrain from bringing up any issues of the Lions until after the draft!

Mitch had surgery in October to correct his scoliosis that was brought on by his Duchenne and being in his wheelchair. He was off school for almost 2 months but continued to work very hard on his missing assignments. Mitchell's hard work paid off and was rewarded with another semester of Principal's Honor Roll!

Please join us with our continued fight against Duchenne by participating in this year's 11th annual Mitchell's Run on August 15th!
