Your High School Can Make A Difference
On September 25, 2010, your high school can join hundreds of colleges and universities around the country.
Coach To Cure MD is:
A partnership between the AFCA (American Football Coaches Association) and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy to raise awareness and money for research for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Duchenne is the most lethal, genetic disorder of childhood. It robs boys of their muscles, their strength, and ultimately their lives.
But by joining our team, you can help us end Duchenne.
Ways for Your School to Participate...
It's as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Register your school. (Check out a list of participating high schools)

It's that easy...and so important! If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Rachel Poysky.
When your boys are freshmen getting ready for football, boys with Duchenne have already been in a wheelchair for three years.
When your boys are graduating and going off to college, many boys with Duchenne are taking their last breath.
Duchenne is 100% fatal but you can help change that statistic...there is hope.
There is YOU.
