I recently returned from a wonderful trip to the beautiful island of Borneo.  I was part of a film crew documenting the people, culture, and arts of Borneo and a climb up Mount Kinabalu.  The climb was to raise awareness for a serious disease that strikes young boys around the world called  Duchenne disease.   WHAT IS DUCHENNE?  Duchenne is a fatal, progressive muscle wasting disease that affects one in 3,500 boys worldwide.  The leader of the expedition is the amazing Catherine Jayasuriya whose son Dusty inspired the creation of Coalition Duchene.  Coalition Duchenne web site

Here are some photos from the trip.
