ERATH — For nearly the last 10 years, Angelica David has put a great deal of energy into raising money.
“Throughout the years,” David said, “I have raised around $35,000.”
She has raised every penny with her 13-year-old brother Gage Ritchey first and foremost on her mind. Doctors diagnosed Ritchey, an eighth grader a Erath Middle School, with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy when he was four years old.
“All proceeds go straight to research to help find a cure for this life threatening disease,” David said.
