KRISTEN DUQUETTE visited the Synergy Summer Program on July 25, 2012 and shared her inspiring story. At the age of 9, Kristin was diagnosed with a form of Muscular Dystrophy (Facioscapularhumeral Dystrophy). Through much determination, she is now a Junior National and American Record Holder, a world class athlete, has represented the U.S. in swim meets such as the Greek Open, and has successfully swam the swim portion (1.2 miles) in a half ironman triathlon. She competed to be a part of the London Team and needed to be in the top 10 ranking in the world. She ranked #15 - still an amazing feat. An inspiring story, indeed.
