Coming Together For A Cure - Blake Benton Part 2

In Part 1, we heard about the bold and courageous approach that Ryan Benton's family took to treat his Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

After seeing the success of the stem cell therapy, Blake and Ryan Benton felt very deeply that they needed to inform and educate others about this approach. From the grass roots of a local rock concert grew Coming Together for a Cure (CTFAC).

The mission of CTFAC is to make stem cell therapy the standard of care for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy a wide variety of rare and debilitating diseases. This is a challenging objective. Investigators need to be recruited, scientific evidence needs to be accumulated, and regulatory requirements need to be met. Because of the history of stem cell research in the US, all of these steps need to be done with utmost care and professionalism.
