Kyle’s Komrades was birthed from the love of his friends after Kyle Cox enrolled at Texas A&M University in 2014. Kyle has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), the leading fatal genetic disorder in children. DMD takes the lives of most boys by the early 20’s, and there is presently no cure. Kyle met some amazing friends at Fish Camp (freshman orientation), IMPACT Camp (orientation for Christian stud
ents), and the BYX Christian fraternity. Kyle’s friends organized a bicycle ride from Houston to Austin, to raise money for awareness and a cure for DMD. It was through this initial contribution of more than $3,000, that Kyle’s Komrades was born. Since then, they have been involved in numerous other activities to support their friend, Kyle. Kyle’s friends continue to spread awareness as they venture into the world following graduation. Kyle plans to attend the Bush School of Government for a Master’s Degree in Public Policy, so he can impact the lives of others with disabilities. Kyle’s Komrades is a 501(c)(3) organization, and partners with larger organizations to combine funds raised to impact awareness and research toward a cure for DMD. The founding board of Kyle’s Komrades is Kristen Cox (Kyle’s Mom and biggest advocate), Kyle Cox, Dr. Charlie Gutierrez, and Lisa Athans, RN. Please consider designating Kyle’s Komrades as your charity on Amazon (smile.amazon.com), eBay, PayPal, and Facebook.
