Calling all who have been touched by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy…
“Join the 40 Duchenne-Parents of Saving our Sons One Story at a Time by telling how Duchenne has ravaged your soul, made you cry until you thought you couldn’t cry no more, and touched your heart in ways you never thought possible until the WHOLE- WORLD-HEARS in the **All New** Saving Our Sons & Daughters 2 book project!”
Be apart of the Duchenne Movement and share your heart just in time for Valentines Day♥
Now more than ever, anyone who has been touched by Duchenne MUST go public with their personal stories of the emotional and physical roller-coaster Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy causes. The Duchenne Movement is gaining momentum but we want a tsunami! There is absolutely no reason the world doesn’t know about Duchenne, the most common childhood genetic disease that claims 2 lives a day and effects 300,000+ world-wide! A cure must be found. Duchenne must end. Our Duchenne children need your help! And this means our daughters too! Although Duchenne affects mainly boys, girls can have it too. And girls can be carriers who can go on and have affected children. The world must hear our SOS call.
Give me the Idea♥
Send in a story or poem of 1500 words or less. Or a little bit more. Keeping in mind the book will be broken up into sections that follow the progression of Duchenne. The beginning phase, ages 0-9, the transition phase, ages 10-15, the late phase ages 16-up and Rest in Peace honor stories. Including a life recognition section in the back to honor our Duchenne children who have passed with their name, birth date – death date.
What is the book about?
Saving Our Sons & Daughters 2 is the second Duchenne Collaboration Book of its kind. And will feature up to 50 NEW short stories and poems. Which will create an even bigger message that Duchenne needs a cure. At the same time bring clarity of where Duchenne sits globally right now and who all is affected and what needs to change.
Why you should do it?
- Take a stand with the 40 Duchenne parents of SOS and let your voice be heard that Duchenne MUST end!
- Submit a story and I do all the rest
- Show your love by honoring your Duchenne child, grandchild, sibling, niece, nephew or significant other.
- Leave a permanent advocacy message that lives on even after you are gone
- Be in a book on Amazon
- 2 FREE copies of SOS-D 2, one to keep and one to share (if you like)
- Take part in the OPTIONAL Affiliate Writers Selling Program and earn commissions to do what ever you like with. Like give to your favorite Duchenne charity, it’s up to you.
- Become a published author
Plus be in a book with published Duchenne Authors like:
Star Babatoon, Author of I Hate Muscular Dystrophy
Ian Griffiths, Author of DMD Life art and me
Ricky Tsang, Author of Riduculous: The mindful nonsense of Ricky’s Brain
Who can submit a story?
Who better than the parents or loved ones to tell the story of Duchenne? -Each and every person touched by Duchenne has a story that can change the face of Duchenne forever! You won’t know how much until you try. 
“None of us really know what we are capable of until the need arises. If we get lulled into thinking that the “experts” will take care of our children than we are short changing our children and ourselves by not experiencing the deep satisfaction that comes with knowing you are working towards a solution.” ~Debra Miller Preface – In Your Face Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy All Pain All Glory!
Would you like to be a part of the solution by educating the world?
Without the public knowing what Duchenne is, we will always be underfunded for research in finding a cure. Now this is where you and your Duchenne story comes in. But before I get into all that here is something else which is completely optional you might be interested in. As with SOS you can partake in the Affiliate Writer Selling program. For every book you sell you can earn 50% of the book retail price to go towards research or where ever you see fit. The Affiliate Writer Selling program is completely optional and FREE to partake in if you so choose. Please note both SOS editions of the book will be in the affiliate program. This means you have the option of earning commissions on both books.
How do I participate in this book♥
First register to save your spot. Then write your 1500 word or less story or poem then submit it via email as per instruction in your Authors Guide available for download immediately upon registration. Then I do the rest, including distribution so you don’t have to. Here is what Donna said about writing a story for SOS.
“I am thankful that I was able to write a short story to submit to this book. It was a small thing I could do and it did not overwhelm me , in fact it felt so good to get some of my feelings down on paper. Thank you for giving us this opportunity , I would have never done it otherwise!” Donna McKenzie
**IMPORTANT Only 40 Co-Author Spots Available!
How does Saving Our Sons & Daughter 2 differ from Saving Our Sons?
- The obvious being girls can have Duchenne too, its rare but it happens and the world must know! Also girls can be carriers which means they can go on and have children affected by Duchenne.
- SOS co-authors were mainly Duchenne Parents, SOS-D2 is anyone touched by Duchenne including parents who have girls with Duchenne.
- Money back guarantee
- A *PRIVATE* call from me to assist with the writing of the story and more in-depth editing and/or suggestions.
- An Authors Guide from how to set up and write your story to instructions of how to submit your story.
- Improved book distribution and mailing system
- Improved Affiliate Writer Selling Program
- $50 price increase to help cover ALL the costs of publishing, editing, formatting and book cover.
When do we get started?
Start writing ASAP. I will need all completed stories submitted no later than October 31st. That gives you 2 entire months before the holidays hit, to write and have your one on one call with me and submit your story for editing and book formatting.
Please note I will be sending you a printable (Author Guide) after you register. The Author guide is full of instruction for story submission, writing ideas and tips. Plus Much more.
**Optional** Affiliate Writer Selling Program♥
The idea is to have everyone share in the cost of publishing and have the option to share in the profits detailed here. I am also taking care of the press kit for you to use in your own marketing and advertising. Completely blog, website, facebook and twitter friendly. My goal is to make the book project as “do-able” as possible, including making the book and the materials for marketing very easy to use for advocating our Duchenne message.
Some people say, “I couldn’t make money off of my child suffering”…well I don’t look at it like that. I don’t believe God gave our children Duchenne, I believe there is a reason that this happened.
My good friend Cathy Gould said it best. “The world needs so much love and hope. Doesn’t mean there’s no pain, but it does mean you give purpose to the things that hurt the most. And somehow… we can transcend the pain.”
Meaning we have a choice to transcend the pain so we have the energy and inspiration to fight to put an end to Duchenne. The OPTIONAL Affiliate Selling Program will allow you to:
- Earn 50% Affiliate commission on every book you sale
- Raise Enough To Give To Your Favorite Duchenne Charity
- Raise Enough to Buy your DMD child/ren something insurance won’t cover
- Have access to resale and copyrights to include where ever you see fit
- Create a United Front-ONE VOICE to conquer Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
You will also get an affiliate back office where you will find different marketing stats and your text links and banners. Plus I will create a webpage for you to send your customer to order already encoded with you information so you get the commission.
Saving Our Sons One Story At A Time was a success! As I am sure Saving Our Sons & Daughter 2 will make an even bigger impact. Here is what some of the co-authors are saying about the experience.

How Saving Our Sons & Daughters 2 came to be? ( Misty’s Story♥ )
From the desk of Misty Vanderweele
Palmer, Alaska
Friday August 26th.
It all started with my first book In Your Face Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy All Pain All GLORY. I learned that the world was ready to hear about the Duchenne Movement so I kept asking myself how could “I” contribute further? When it hit me a book FULL of Duchenne stories from around the world! That “Ah Ha” moment lead to the creation of Saving Our Sons One Story At A Time full of 40 different stories meant to uplift and educate the world about Duchenne. That is exactly what is happening. Plus numerous parents wishing they had submitted a story as well. The out poor of love, connection and endorsement has been incredible. It has also dawned on me after meeting a handful of moms who have girls with Duchenne that they need to be heard as well. Which brings me to… WE CAN’T STOP NOW...The entire world needs to hear that Duchenne must END for our sons and our daughters! ! I will continue to write books and advocate for Duchenne in any way that I can. Saving Our Son & Daughters 2 will lend a voice to the momentum being built for the Duchenne Movement. But I can’t do it alone. If you are still reading, it’s not an accident. You know in your heart of hearts even though Duchenne sucks that your journey must be told. Plus, if you decide to participate in the SOS-D 2 book project I will personally make sure your story is up to publishing standards since I already know your story will be straight from your heart. It’s a win, win.
How to know what to write?First I must say follow your heart. Only you can write your personal experience, but here are some ideas to help get your juices flowing.
The ideas are endless and no Duchenne story unworthy to tell. I am here to help♥ |
Ready to get started or you do you still have a few questions?
Q. What if there isn’t enough stories submitted to publish a book?
A♥ All monies submitted will be completely refunded in full.
Q. Misty I don’t know how to write very well, not sure if I should just go for it.
A♥ I say just got for and write from your heart. I will go through your story with you over the phone to make sure it is what you are wanting.
Q. Will there be pictures in the book?
A♥ Each story can have ONE photo. Just make sure it is the photo you want. A $45.00 picture change out fee will be applied if you want to change.
Q. Will the book be on Amazon?
A♥ Yes, once the book’s ISBN number gets registered in the global book registry the book will appear on Amazon. This can take up to 12 weeks after official publishing.
Q. Do I have to sell the book if I don’t want to?
A♥ The Affiliate Writers Selling Program is optional.
Q. Why does the Affiliate Writer Selling program pay a 50% commission? I heard the SOS affiliate earned 80% off the retail price.
A♥ There are to many fees to pay for the affiliate software and paypal fees to leave it at 80%. Plus 50% or less is the going rate for affiliate programs. The idea is more people promoting the book means more people advocating for Duchenne.
~Through our heart-felt personal Duchenne stories the world needs to understand that a cure MUST be found.
~Our Duchenne Children deserve a chance for a life time.
