A Life With A Purpose

A Life With A Purpose – The Story Behind the Cause

More than a book – A Life With A Purpose is a celebration of resilience, creativity, and heart. Written by Steven Desmond and illustrated by Francis Desmond, eldest son of Weber’s Brand owners, this family-friendly book offers an intimate look into Francis’ world as a young artist growing up with both Autism and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

His story is one of strength and self-expression, told through original artwork and heartfelt reflections that have inspired readers of all ages. It’s a powerful reminder that purpose can shine through even the greatest challenges.

Even more inspiring? 100% of proceeds from every book sold are donated directly to Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), funding critical research exclusively for DMD. Since 2012, Francis’ book and the Weber’s Brand 3 Pack Assortment have raised over $27,000 for DMD research – and every sale brings us one step closer to a cure.

Why this book matters:

• All Proceeds Donated – 100% goes to PPMD for Duchenne research.
• Uplifting and Family-Friendly – A meaningful read for kids and adults alike.
• Fueling Change Since 2012 – Over $27,000 raised and counting.

Whether you're buying it for your family, your classroom, or as a gift for the heart, A Life With A Purpose is a touching reminder that even the smallest stories can lead to big change.

Support the cause. Celebrate the courage. Discover the purpose.
