Coach to Cure MD this Saturday 9/25/2009 SUNY Cortland head football coach Dan MacNeill and his staff will participate in the American Football Coaches Association's "Coach to Cure MD" charitable project this Saturday.  Many staffs will participate in this nationwide event.  It is the second consecutive year MacNeill and SUNY Cortland have taken part in this event. Coach MacNeill and coaches nationwide will be wearing a "Coach to Cure MD" logo patch during the game.  The program looks to fight Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed during childhood.  Patients stricken with this Duchenne develop progressive muscle weakness, eventually loss of mobility and wheelchair dependancy.  There is no known cure for Duchenne and few therapeutic options exist. The American Football Coaches Association is joining with the Parent Project for Muscular Dystrophy to make Coach to Cure MD a reality.  The coalition will generate support for research using this one-day nationwide event. Fans can donate to muscular dystrophy research online at www.CoachToCureMD.org or by texting the word "CURE" to 90999 to automatically donate $5 from their mobile phones.
