Christopher Erskine was a 17-year old senior at Swan Valley High School when his long battle against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy ended in 1998. This scholarship was established in 1999 by his friends and family. It is a lasting tribute to the fine scholarship, leadership, courage and spirit that Chris exhibited throughout his life.
