Miles for Muscles partnered with Stone Circle of Friends to raise awareness and provide research funding for Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy (MMD) through their cycling team. Mike Hamlin, a one time avid cyclist with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy, inspired folks to join him on a 100 mile ride. Mike is no longer able to ride a bike, so he rode a recumbent trike instead. Join Mike on this adventure...

In an effort to raise awareness about MMD and to help raise research funds, the Stone Circle of Friends have enthusiastically volunteered to work again at the annual Irish Festival in Churchill. We had an awesome mix of friends ranging from law buddies, Bikram Yogis, YMCA folks who work with Elliott and Nicholas weekly, Moody and Freeman buddies, the West End Jaycees, and family and friends! Thanks to Stokes McCune for having us back, we had a great time! And thanks to Lucky Judd for creating the video below...

Randy Blythe, lead singer for Lamb of God and friend, auctioned his Grammy Medal on ebay for MMD research a few months ago.... Dan, who wants to remain anonymous, won the medal at $2,500. After learning more about MMD and about Nicholas and Elliott, Dan gifted the medal to the Stone boys.

Dan wrote to us, "It seemed a logical way to perpetuate Randy’s selfless donation of the medallion. I’m a big Lamb of God fan, so this was a real opportunity to make the experience complete."
