Recently, University of Texas Football Head Coach Mack Brown, won the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award. As part of the reward he received $10,000 which he in turn graciously donated to CureDuchenne. Austin Residents Tim and Laura Revell together with CureDuchenne Founder, Debra Miller, were there to accept the award.

cureduchennecheckTim & Laura Revell are parents of a boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

DMD is a disease that affects more than 1 in every 3500 boys worldwide. Currently there is no cure and it is the leading genetic killer among children.

However, with committed parents like Tim and Laura Revell, big things can happen! Every donation puts us one step closer to a cure!
