Krystal Talbot, center, looks to her cousin, Aiden Darling, right, 9, as they make signs with other cousins, Dalycia Greeley, 9, left, and Quaneysha Greeley, 13, before the start of the Muscular Dystrophy Association walk in the Auburn Mall on Saturday. The group from Portland, which includes numerous other relatives, is known as "Aiden's A Team," in support of Darling, whom was diagnosed at age 6 with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a nerve-related disorder that causes muscle atrophy. According to MDA New England Regional Coordinator Jill Marshall, the walk was expected to draw about 150 people and raise about $20,000.
