Kayla Vittek, with her mother, Lisa Harvey-Duren, was a leading advocate for the DM community, regularly appearing in news stories and on television, serving as a Youth Ambassador for Easterseals and participating in the MDA telethon. To remember Kayla, who passed away from heart-related complications in April 2019, Lisa created a fundraising campaign in her memory, and MDF is presenting an outstanding community advocate award at the MDF Annual Conference this Fall.
