The stairs were only six steps—but to four-year-old Marko, they might as well have been Everest.
Years later, #Duchenne muscular dystrophy is still trying to slow him down… but thanks to donors like you, it never will.
Meet Marko, the boy who refuses to stop dreaming of running. 💚

Her students were her legacy—now her words are. 💚
