Garrett Kilgore, 15, of Greenville, was one of more than 3,000 people who participated in the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Stride & Ride at Cowboys Stadium this past weekend.  The event raised more than $500,000 to help find a cure for muscular dystrophy.

Kilgore didn't take his ride alone, as fourteen of his family members and friends attended the event with him.

More than 3,000 people braved freezing temperatures to walk or ride powered wheelchairs or scooters one mile around the concourse at the Arlington stadium.  The Muscular Dystrophy Association moved the walk to the location after outgrowing its old site at Grapevine Mills mall.  Organizers said the new venue helped bring in a record crowd.
