Conozca a Elizabeth Florence, Esq.

Elizabeth Florence lives in Dallas, Texas with her husband, Kirk and two sons, Will and Sam. Sam was born January 20, 2002, and has congenital myotonic dystrophy. Upon Sam’s first birthday, Elizabeth stopped practicing law to devote her full attention to care for her family, the special needs of Sam and to raise awareness of myotonic dystrophy. In 2011 and again in 2013, she organized Sam’s Squad, a group of 300 supporters who ran in or volunteered at a water station during the Dallas Marathon. In its first year alone, Sam’s Squad raised more than $100,000 and funded an MDF research fellow at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.
