Energy for Life Virtual Teams
Our Energy for Life Walkathons have gone virtual. We are proud to welcome these amazing teams who have registered and are fundraising to help us fund our mission.
Meet Andy
Andy Marks is a skier, a boxer and a bowler. He also enjoys movies, plays backgammon and is a stand-up comedian. His activities don’t seem too far out of the norm for a 31 year old. The difference is that Andy is blind. Andy is living with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).
Meet The Hall Family
“Nina faces challenges every day. I wanted to honor Nina by pushing myself with something I love to do and the things she can’t.”
Meet Ryan
UMDF’s 2020 Energy Award winner is Ryan Eberly from Gordonville, PA. Ryan first learned about UMDF shortly after he was diagnosed eight years ago with CPEO Plus with mitochondrial myopathy which was caused by a POLG mutation.
