Dylan's Footprint





Mission Statement

Dylan's Footprint is a grassroots effort to help Dylan and other families in Long Island who are affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Our inspiration for this foundation, Dylan Thompson, a 16 year old Centerport, Long Island, native, is living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He was diagnosed at the age of 5 and is currently a 10th grader at Harborfields High School. His school district has been extremely supportive throughout his academic years and his family is forever thankful.

Our immediate project and goal for Dylan is to raise funds to build a handicap accessible and highly energy efficient "Green home" for Dylan. Dylan's home will have wide hallways to accommodate his wheelchair, and handicap-accessible bath. The bedroom will be designed for comfort and with practical use of space. In short, we're building a livable home that will also be inexpensive to operate.
