Playoff Beard To Help Raise Funds For Halton Walk For MD

Jason Bleakley is the late Rex Stephenson Jr.'s first cousin.  For the next two weeks he is growing his "playoff beard" leading up to the walk on May 15th. 

Jason Bleakley and Rex Stephenson Jr.

"Rexxie" showed signs of Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy at the young age of 6. Against all odds and stats, he lived as independently as possible for the next 38 years, dying at the age of 41.  He is missed and we keep his memory alive.

Local Ambassador- MEET LAURA LEE! 

Laura Lee Laura became involved with the first Halton Region Walk for Muscular Dystrophy last year.
