There are at least two young men third-grader Cameron Yurik of Brentwood and fifth-grader Lucas Currier of Newfields in our community with this progressive muscle disorder.

PPMD is a national nonprofit organization started in 1994 by parents of young men diagnosed with Duchenne. Gowing is actively involved with PPMD and hopes to inspire the Seacoast community to come out, have fun, and purchase beautiful artwork in support of PPMD.

The art show will feature nature-themed two-dimensional artwork by both students and professional artists. Students in the third and fifth grade classes of the young men who have Duchenne will be creating artwork for the show. Local art teachers and other artists are contributing, as well as both a photographer and a texture artist from California.
