Description
For a lot of people fall is synonymous with football and for those in the muscular dystrophy community, that means Coach To Cure MD. Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy's nationwide initiative partners with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) to educate about Duchenne and Becker and raise funds for research. Every September high school and college coaches sport the “Coach To Cure MD” patches at games and talk about ways to support individuals with Duchenne at press conferences and other media events. These coaches, along with their teams, also forge special connections with families and individuals with Duchenne both on and off the field. In this episode, we hear from Jack, Brian, and Karen Wolf and Coach Keith Otterbein of Hillsdale College about their enduring friendship sparked through this incredible program.
