Meet Dylan! He is 14 years old and is sweet kid that loves any kind of music! Although he’s allergic, he loves big dogs and watches videos about them on YouTube. Dylan has been diagnosed with MECP2 Duplication Syndrome which is when someone is born with an extra copy of the MECP2 gene on the X chromosome. As a result, Dylan is not able to complete daily tasks on his own and uses a wheelchair for transportation.
Johnny Cash is Dylan’s favorite artist, often listening to Ring of Fire on repeat. He loves anything music, but country is his favorite. His mom describes him as happy, sweet, and handsome.
Dylan needs a stander which improve his quality of life and also help with strengthen his muscles since this is a progressive disease. Because Dylan has a lot of equipment that needs to be transported with him when he goes out, it would be easier for both him and his mom to have his physical therapy equipment in his environment.
Thank you to L & W By The Sea Corp and the UPS Store Palm Harbor for sponsoring Dylan!
