GOPHERS TO SUPPORT COACH TO CURE MD
Sept. 29, 2017
The University of Minnesota football program will be supporting the American Football Coaches Association's efforts to raise awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which is the most prolific genetic killer diagnosed in childhood.
Minnesota coaches will be wearing a patch on their sleeves to raise awareness and the team will also be hosting Tyler Ash and his family from Prior Lake, Minn. Tyler is a brave five-year-old who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in April 2015. You can follow his journey here http://z.umn.edu/toughliketyler.
Gopher fans can help support the fight to end Duchenne by either going online to CoachtoCureMD.org or by texting the word CURE to 50555 to make a $10 donation in honor of this year's anniversary.
The Paul and Sheila Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Center at the University of Minnesota is a leader in the field and is part of the university's Academic Health Center. The center facilitates development of clinical, translational, and basic research on muscular dystrophy, enhances and supports clinical care of patients with muscular dystrophy, improves educational experience for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students interested in the fields of basic and clinical muscle research, and increases interaction and support from the regional community of patients and families concerned about muscular dystrophy.
