Multimedia presentation by Steve Mellon and Gretchen Mckay
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Ryan Ballou's parents were proud the day he moved into Edinboro University as a 19-year-old freshman. Ryan had overcome lots of odds. As a child he was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and doctors said he probably wouldn't live to be age 13. In this presentation, spend time with Ryan and his parents during move-in day at Edinboro.
