I decided to give my Weekly Salute to Casey Knott and his sons for something great they're doing for charity. A close friend, Scott Griffin has a son who has a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Called Duchenne, a website the Griffin family set up said 1 in every 3,500 boys are born with this and there is little funding for research. There is no cure to the disease and, since there is little funding for it, the boys that have Duchenne are often called "The Lost Boys" as little is known about them or the disease.
As a result, Casey decided to do something epic to raise money for Duchenne MD research: he built the world's largest Hot Wheels track. The track has multiple loops and curves and even goes outside on the sidewalk in front of their house. With the help of his sons, Casey spent many hours putting the track together and filming the Hot Wheel going through it. Now the video has gone viral and the Hope For Gabe Foundation has raised over $10,000 because of it. So I salute the Knott family for their work towards this great cause. I hope you continue to have success!
