Profile Information
- About me:
- I moved to Berkeley, California from Missoula, Montana and I am the California Communications Director for a national nonprofit organization called Trout Unlimited, working to protect and restore native trout, salmon, steelhead and their watersheds, and I also do a lot of freelance writing on various topics.
I try and use my writing, public speaking and organizing skills to help in any and everyway I can. I recently created a website, blog and Facebook page called The Cory Story to raise awareness and understanding about Duchenne, strengthen support for developing effective treatments and a cure, and help turn hope into reality. Here is the url: www.thecorystory.com
- About my family:
- My son, Cory (11) has Duchenne, and is fortunate to have a large, strong, loving family determined to help fund and find treatments and a cure. Cory remains in Montana with his mom, Christine, and it is very tough being away from them both. I miss them. I hope to eventually be able to return home to Montana. In the meantime, I do what I can from here.
- Name(s) of child(ren)/individual(s) with Duchenne:
- Cory
- Age(s) of child(ren)/individual(s) with Duchenne:
- 7-12

I learned a few new things about my son today. Asked to name three people, real or fictitious, living or deceased, who he would like to have dinner with, here's who he picked: His grandpa Stalling (who died eight years ago); our old chocolate lab Sage (who died four years ago), and Katy Perry (who is still very much alive and singing).
Now I have "I kissed a…
