Devin Argall, a 14-year-old from the Manitowoc lives with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy disease. He does not let the disease get in his way – he continues inspiring others. 
 
Devin is being featured in the Muscular Dystrophy Association's "Live Unlimited" summer fundraising campaign, which seeks to accelerate treatments and cures for kids, adults and families living with muscle debilitating diseases. 
 
The essence of "Live Unlimited" is inspired by the strength, courage and can-do spirit of MDA individuals and families who are doing remarkable things every day, despite the physical limits they experience by the diseases that affect them.
 
Devin's entire family has joined the fight. His mom and dad have become active fundraisers for MDA, primarily through Team Momentum, and have raised thousands of dollars through the program.  
 
Currently, Devin is involved in a clinical trial. He travels to Chicago every Friday for infusions and to Iowa every 12 weeks.  He is still ambulatory, but needs assistance climbing stairs. He attends MDA Summer Camp and the Care Centers. 
 
He is the 2016 Wisconsin State Goodwill Ambassador.
