In this episode, Avery Roberts and Kelly Berger discuss Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month, sharing personal experiences and insights about muscular dystrophy (MD). They get real about what it’s like living with muscular dystrophy (MD), share some eye-opening personal stories, and spill the tea on what people think they know about MD (spoiler alert: there’s a lot to clear up!). You’ll laugh, you might cry (in a good way), and you’ll definitely leave empowered to raise awareness, amplify voices, and get involved in the movement. The conversation emphasizes the significance of personal stories and collective action in raising awareness and fostering understanding of MD.
