per Joe:

Fans will be asked to make a donation to help fight Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Contributors can text the word CURE to the number 90999 and have their $5 donation automatically added to their cellphone bill.

“When I found out there were 115 families in the Twin Cities that have a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, I was shocked,” said Sawvel, who met his wife after her brother passed away. “It would be like an entire team of kids that have that.

“We’ve all heard the great cancer story where somebody’s been told they’re going to die and they don’t. And that option doesn’t exist for these kids yet.”
