Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that affects less than 1 in 3,500 males born worldwide each year. 90% of boys with DMD will be in a wheelchair by the age of 15, and few will live beyond their 20’s. The Romito family first found out about DMD when their son Dominic was diagnosed at age 4. Little did they know that this would not be their only experience with DMD though. They had two more sons, Collin and Kaleb after Dominic. With worldwide odds being 1 in 3,500 certainly their next two boys would be fine right? Tune in as Richard Romito tells the inspirational and emotional story of how their family changed the day they discovered that three of their four boys had this rare disorder, and how faith has led them to a path of acceptance, compassion, and advocacy for other families.
