Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you for visiting my page. I am a player with Ridgefield Youth Lacrosse, and I am proud to be helping my team's mission to raise funds to help our fellow student Conner Curran who is battling Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

I'm excited because my team will be crushing it for Conner during designated games in June. This is a TEAM effort, not based on individual goals scored but on what the team can do together as every position is vital to our success! Will you help me? You can donate a set amount, or pledge per goal scored (we're aiming for 7 goals per game for 2 games). No amount is too small. And you don't have to donate online, cash and checks are great too

Thank you for all of your support and encouragement and remember, it's more than a game.

About this fundraiser:

Conner Curran calls Ridgefield home. He's a 2nd grader at BMES, and has 2 brothers he enjoys playing games and watching baseball with. But unlike his siblings, Conner cannot play lacrosse, swim, or engage in any activities that would be too taxing for him physically. This is because 3 years ago, Conner was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a progressively fatal genetic disorder causing major muscle weakness in the limbs and trunk and serious medical issues in the heart and respiratory system.

Conner's parents, Chris and Jessica, have spent countless hours fighting for more awareness and advocating for families affected by this horrible disease. Their family has worked tirelessly to raise thousands of dollars for research. Quitting is not in their vocabulary.

Now is the time for us to step up and show the Currans they are not alone in striving to give Conner the best care and opportunities in his fight against DMD. With this fundraiser, our RYL players will exemplify what it means to be a team and to work toward a goal that's greater than ourselves. The funds we raise will help the Currans to enroll Conner in clinical trials, support his daily needs, and continue to adapt to Conner's changing physical situation and future needs.

Our RYL teams will be working hard to crush it the weekend of June 2/3 to benefit Conner and raise awareness about DMD. This is a TEAM effort, not based on individual goals scored but on what the team can do together as every position counts! You can donate a set amount, or pledge per goal scored in 2 games (each team is aiming for 7 goals per game). No amount is too small.

We appreciate the incredible support of the RYL family very much and know that the Currans do as well!
