Diagnosed with fatal Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at six, Elijah Stacy refused to let his condition define him. Instead, at just 15, Elijah founded Destroy Duchenne to fight for a cure. Now, his work extends into biotech, public speaking, and nonprofit leadership. He shares how his experiences have shaped his character and why adversity is often the best teacher. We are privileged to enjoy this special encore visit with our friend, Elijah, which will be featured in Podcasthon, an event highlighting non-profits all over the world.
