COACH TO CURE
This weekend the Seahawks will once again be participating in the Coach to Cure MD initiative.
- Coach To Cure MD is a project of Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) in partnership with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).
- Coach To Cure MD is a one-day, nationwide awareness building and fundraising event that will be held on September 28, 2019. Over the last 11 years, Coach To Cure MD has raised over $2.1 million for Duchenne research.
- The goal of Coach To Cure MD is to:
- Raise awareness of Duchenne musculardystrophy(Duchenne,pronounced"DOO-SHIN")
- Generate new financial support for Duchenne research
- Demonstrate coaches' commitment to the betterment of young men and the core academic research missions of their universities
- College football coaches all over the country have been asked to wear a patch with the Coach To Cure MD insignia on Saturday, September 28th. By wearing this patch, coaches will show their support for Coach To Cure MD and the fight against this disease.
- Coach To Cure MD is supported by thousands of college coaches, including legends of the game like Mack Brown, Mike Riley, Rob Ash, and Dick Tomey.
- One reason Coach To Cure MD is unique is because of the parallels between Duchenne, a disorder which robs young men of precious muscle strength and college football, a game where young men are at the peak of their muscle strength. PPMD is the largest nonprofit organization in the United States focused entirely on Duchenne.
