There's no mountain high enough, nor any building, to keep one father from fighting, and climbing for a cure for his young son.

When Eyewitness News first met Evan Procko he was five years old, and his father was preparing to climb Mt. Rainer to raise awareness and money for research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Evan's six now, and his dad is gearing up for another climb to try to help the 20,000 boys whose lives are being cut short because of this progressive muscle-weakening disorder.

"These are the steroids, then we have the fish oils, the antioxidants, the heart medication..."

Suwannee County resident Bill Procko runs down the list of nearly a dozen pills as his six year old son, Evan, swallows them one by one.

Evan has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

It's a genetic disorder that causes rapid muscle loss and weakness, giving Evan a lifespan of teens to mid twenties.

His mother, Kimberly Procko, said, "Every part of his little being is eager to grow up, is eager to get stronger and be like his big brother and to be a race car driver or whatever he wants to do in life. He thinks he's going to do it."

Evan's eight year old brother has to help him with even the simplest things like playing because of his weakening muscles.

But, his dad is using his own strength to work for a cure.

Last September, Procko climbed the 14,411 foot tall Mt. Rainer in Washington state.

He and his team raised $178,000 toward Duchenne research.

Procko said, "It was frightening at times. Evan naturally was my inspiration. I had a photo of him around my neck. So, I looked down there quite often for some motivation."

That climb motivated the group, "CureDuchenne" to organize a national climb.

A team from every state will do a climb at the same time this Summer.

Procko is climbing the inside of the Wachovia Center, which he says is the second tallest skyscraper in Florida.

Close to the sky--hopefully closer to a cure.

"The longer it takes, the worse for Evan and all the little boys that have Duchenne." Said, Kimberly Procko.

That next climb will be June 19 and 20th.

Bill Procko will climb the 55 floors of the Wachovia Center in Miami. This time, with six-year-old Evan on his back.

He says Evan is most looking forward to the elevator ride back down the some 700-foot skyscraper.

The goal is to raise $250,000 to one million dollars by this Summer's climb for a cure.
