The Handicapable Podcast: S3 E4: Destroy Duchenne

On today's episode, Adam has a conversation with Elijah Stacy, founder of the nonprofit Destroy Duchenne, which he started at just 15 years old after learning the average lifespan for Duchenne and deciding he wasn’t going to accept that as the end of the story. Elijah breaks down gene therapy versus gene editing in a way that’s easy to understand, explains why safe delivery is one of the biggest hurdles, and shares what advancements he’s most hopeful about right now. We also talk advocacy, the reality of the “disability tax,” and why supporting families today matters just as much as pushing for breakthroughs tomorrow.Intro music by Pat MoeschenThe Handicapable Network: www.hcmedia.orgElijah Stacy: www.elijahjstacy.comHosted by Adam MaloneExecutive produced by Adam Malone and Cody ChalfanProduced by Kyle Friar
