5 EXONS

06/03/2026

Every year after Toss for DMD, we try to find the words to explain what this event means to us.

The truth is, words never quite seem enough.

So this year, we had a video created that tells the story far better than we ever could.

This video captures the heart of our DMD families, the incredible support from our community, and the reason we continue to fight every single day.

While most people know Joe and I for running co****le events, Toss for DMD has never really been about co****le. It's about creating a place where families affected by Duchenne can come together, feel seen, find support, and be reminded they are not walking this journey alone.

As grandparents to Jonah and founders of 5 Exons, this mission is deeply personal. Over the past two years, because of this amazing community, we've been able to provide more than $21,000 directly to Duchenne families. But beyond the dollars, we've helped build something even more meaningful—a community of people who understand, encourage, and fight alongside one another.

If you've ever wondered why Toss for DMD means so much to us, take a few minutes and watch.

💚 Sometimes I sit back after Toss for DMD and wonder how in the world we ended up here.💚

What started because of one little boy that we love so fiercely has grown into a community of people who continue to show up in the most beautiful ways imaginable.

On Saturday, we hosted our 3rd Annual Toss for DMD and truly, it was one of the most special days we have ever experienced.

This year we had EIGHT boys affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in attendance representing seven families.

Seven families trusting us with their hearts, their stories, their struggles, and their boys.

And if you were there… you felt it.
You felt the love.
You felt the community.
You felt the WHY behind all of this. 💚

One of my absolute favorite moments every single year is watching the boys using their chairs to race around the field circling the co****le courts. Watching siblings hop onto chairs for rides, hearing the laughter, seeing the boys race one another and just be KIDS… it is impossible to explain unless you witness it yourself.

When you watch the joy, the resilience, the exhaustion, the laughter, the love, and the fight all existing together at once — it changes you.

You stop just hearing about a Duchenne diagnosis … and start understanding the incredible strength these boys and families carry every single day. 💚

And because of this incredible community, we were blessed to be able to give $10,000 directly into the hands of families who need it most.

Not to a giant corporation.
Not lost in paperwork.
DIRECTLY to families. battling Duchenne.

That brings our 2-year total to OVER $20,000 given directly to families walking this fight. 💚

And for us personally… that means everything.

When Jonah was diagnosed and we started 5 Exons, we just knew we needed to DO something. Anything.

Because loving someone with DMD changes you forever.

And somehow, this community keeps showing up beside us.

Thank you to Brittany for absolutely crushing the raffle table this year.

Thank you to Ray, Rikki, Blake, Rob, Ali, and everyone who helped us throughout the event day.

Thank you to Susan (Garrett’s grandma 💚) for all the behind-the-scenes support and helping spread the word.

Thank you to every vendor, every raffle donor, every volunteer, every sponsor, every player, every person who shared a post, bought a raffle ticket, donated, hugged a mom, talked with a family, or simply showed up.

And of course, thank you to our sponsors who make all of this possible:
💚 GOLD
✨ BluSky
✨ IEM
✨ Lund Construction
💚 SILVER
✨ Roebbelen
✨ Anrak
💚 BRONZE
✨ Sac Coin-Op
✨ Solace

Sometimes running a nonprofit feels overwhelming. Sometimes the need feels bigger than us. But Saturday reminded us that love shows up in HUGE ways when people choose to care.
And my goodness… you all showed up. 💚
