Fear, Hope and a Clinical Trial with Nate Plasman Making Our Way

We’re going to kick off the New Year with this really special episode. If you need a dose of hope and encouragement – you are in the right place!
I’m talking with Nate Plasman. Nate and his wife are parents to 3 kids and when their youngest, Andrew, was still a baby they started to notice that something wasn’t right.
When Andrew was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, amidst the devastation and fear, Nate became a fierce advocate for his son and moved mountains to get him into a clinical trial.
He was instrumental in changing the course of his own son’s life, and now he’s determined to do the same for other kids.
I do want to say that this is one father’s – and one child’s – story. This is about their unique experience in a clinical trial, and one particular company’s treatment that is the first approved gene therapy for Duchenne. Every experience is personal and there are and will be so many stories to tell – I hope that today you enjoy hearing about this sweet family. This is a special story of fear, of faith and doubt, of dreams, and miracles.
