This Saturday versus Coastal Carolina University, Appalachian State football coaches will be wearing patches supporting Coach to Cure MD, a foundation partnered with the AFCA and PPMD (Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy) dedicated to raising awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Since 1994, PPMD has been dedicated to helping those victimized by MD and invested in a variety of therapeutic possibilities for Duchenne, a genetic disorder that involves progressive muscle degeneration and weakness caused by a lack of dystrophin protein in the body. In 2008, the AFCA (American Football Coaches Association) adopted the Coach to Cure MD as one of their primary charity efforts.
