(Courtesy JAR of Hope) Facebook Share STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Former Staten Islander Jim Raffone, Founder/CEO of JAR Of Hope, has been fighting for years to save children with a fatal disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy. But on June 12, he’ll be fighting to save them in a totally different way – in a boxing ring. At the age of 50. Duchenne is an extremely rare (one in every 3,500 live births), muscle-wasting disease for which there’s no cure. By the early-teens, these kids (mostly boys) are in wheelchairs. By the late-teens, they’re breathing on ventilators. Average life expectancy is mid-20s for people with Duchenne.
