The Dalton Wallace Family Deacon Jones Kia Cause

Dalton Wallace was born December 2, 1997, and lived a somewhat normal life until at the age of 2 when a chest x-ray during a bout with pneumonia revealed he had Cardiomyopathy. And as years passed Dalton wasn’t doing as well as other children. So in 2003 through genetic testing his family learned Dalton had Friedreich’s Ataxia, a degenerative neuromuscular disease. This on top of diabetes, scoliosis, and his preexisting condition was simply too much. On Thursday June 12, 2008 Dalton passed away at Duke Hospital.

The Wallace Family is now faced with many issues. The home they’re living in has a major mold issue, they have extensive financial losses due to the inability to work and supporting Dalton while in the hospital, and they have two other children that need help too.
