    PPMD Living Duchenne: Focus on Siblings

    We're rounding out Season 6 of Living Duchenne talking about the impact of Duchenne behavior on siblings. This conversation features fantastic guests, Colleen Labbadia, a Duchenne mom and counselor, and Hannah Divin, an older sibling of a brother with Duchenne. They join our host, Rachel Poysky, to share honest, heartfelt, and humorous perspectives on the world seen and experienced through a sibling's eyes. In this episode we chat about having open discussions about your sibling's needs, feelings, and experiences; making sure there's room for everyone's emotions; and finding the right ways to acknowledge that "everybody has a 'hard'" and it's important to keep an open, fluid dialogue about each family member's unique relationship to Duchenne. Join us!

    PPMD Living Duchenne: Understanding the Why-Duchenne Behaviors

    Join us for another great conversation on Living Duchenne in our season focusing on the intersection of behaviors and the Duchenne experience. In this episode, our host Rachel Poysky chats with Dr. Felix Wu, PhD in Industrial Organization Psychology who also lives with Duchenne. Dr. Wu gives candid insight into the behaviors he's grappled with as his Duchenne has progressed. He talks about "understanding the why" behind various behaviors--recognizing that factors such as frustration, anxiety, grief, and insecurity (on both the part of parents and family members) play roles in the Duchenne dynamic as much as biology and neurology.

    From Coach to Lifelong Connection

    For a lot of people fall is synonymous with football and for those in the muscular dystrophy community, that means Coach To Cure MD. Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy's nationwide initiative partners with the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) to educate about Duchenne and Becker and raise funds for research. Every September high school and college coaches sport the “Coach To Cure MD” patches at games and talk about ways to support individuals with Duchenne at press conferences and other media events. These coaches, along with their teams, also forge special connections with families and individuals with Duchenne both on and off the field. In this episode, we hear from Jack, Brian, and Karen Wolf and Coach Keith Otterbein of Hillsdale College about their enduring friendship sparked through this incredible program.
