Though he may be well known to Rutgers football fans, Danny Garafolo, Jr.’s incredible battle with a deadly disease is going “national” this evening on the Big Ten Network. Danny, who lost his battle with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) this past summer at the young age of 16, had battled his nemesis since birth.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Danny Garafolo’s family and his parents Dan and Jenny. Danny was an inspiration to all of us at @RFootball, and will be deeply missed! pic.twitter.com/Nlc3MHhidO
