Fishing for MD - Muscular Dystrophy

…Yesterday was one of those days that reminds me what FFMD is really all about…

I had the pleasure of spending the day on the Ocean City, Maryland boardwalk with Kourtney, one of FFMD’s longest-time fans and supporters. We hit the arcade, played some games, won a few tickets, enjoyed a great lunch together, and just had an all-around amazing day.

Kourtney and I are both living with different forms of muscular dystrophy. Our challenges may be different, but we share something much bigger — a determination to keep living, keep enjoying life, and keep moving forward.

Days like yesterday are why this mission is so personal to me. FFMD isn’t just about raising money or awareness. It’s about the people, the friendships, the families and the incredible MD community that continues to inspire us every day.

To Kourtney — thank you for spending the day with me. I had an absolute blast.

And to all of our FFMD friends, families and supporters — especially everyone out there fighting their own battle with muscular dystrophy:

Keep on keeping on. Keep living. Keep fighting. And never give up. 💪❤️

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from the FFMD Team! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy, remember those who have sacrificed to protect them, and appreciate the family, friends, and communities that make America so special.

At Fishing for Muscular Dystrophy (FFMD), we’re especially grateful for the incredible supporters, volunteers, sponsors, anglers, and donors who help us make a difference in the lives of families affected by muscular dystrophy. Your generosity continues to turn hope into action.

Whether you’re spending the day on the water, with family, or watching fireworks, we hope you have a safe and memorable Fourth of July.

God Bless America, and thank you to all who have served. 🇺🇸🎆

Fishing For Muscular Dystrophy (FFMD) is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individuals responsible for breaking into the FFMD 72 Viking at Sailfish Marina in Palm Beach Shores on Singer Island.

The thieves stole four Ho**er Electric Tiagra 30 kite reels along with four custom FFMD kite rods.

The rods were custom-built with the FFMD logo prominently displayed, making them very recognizable.

After leaving the marina, the thieves went to Peanut Island, removed the valuable Ho**er Electric Tiagra 30 reels from the rods, and threw the FFMD rods into the water in an apparent attempt to destroy evidence.

Thankfully, a local bait fisherman recovered the rods, but the four Ho**er Electric Tiagra 30 reels remain missing.

Kicking off with a few days getting ready for the 🇧🇸 invitational blue marlin tournament on board the . Excited to have family and friends here for this epic week. Looking forward to fishing with some of the best marlin tournament teams out there. Day 1 is tomorrow. Best of luck and safe times to all the teams competing.

10 years ago today we flash back… the original FFMD 435CC was out chasing pelagic fish, making memories, and helping build what Fishing for Muscular Dystrophy has become today.

What started with a passion for fishing and giving back has grown into an incredible community of supporters, anglers, families, sponsors, and friends all working together to make a difference in the fight against muscular dystrophy.

Looking back at this photo reminds us that it was never just about the boats, tournaments, or fishing trips — it has always been about the people, the purpose, and the impact we can make together.

From those early days on the Everglades 435 to where FFMD is today, we are beyond grateful for everyone who has supported the mission along the way. And while we’re proud of how far things have come, we’re even more excited about where things are headed next.

We’ve got some big plans on the horizon for something new, meaningful, and impactful for individuals and families living with muscular dystrophy — and we can’t wait to share more soon.

Here’s to the memories, the miles offshore, the friendships built, and the future ahead. 🎣💙

From the waters of Palm Beach to the history of Athens 🇬🇷🎣

No matter where people travel, we’re proud to have folks represent FFMD and continue spreading awareness for families battling muscular dystrophy around the world. Standing among thousands of years of history at the Acropolis is a reminder that lasting impact is built over time — and together, our FFMD community continues to make a difference every day.

Thank you to everyone who supports Fishing for Muscular Dystrophy through tournaments, events, donations, and shared stories. Your support helps create hope, memories, and opportunities for so many families.

Today the FFMD team was proud to participate in the 32nd Annual Ed Morse MDA Golf Classic Tournament at PGA National in North Palm Beach.

It was an incredible day supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association and helping raise more than $400,000 for families battling muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular diseases.

One of the highlights of the day was successfully auctioning off a Palm Beach sailfishing trip on the new FFMD 72C specifically designed for those with muscular dystrophy and other mobility challenges — generously won by a donor who is planning to take Parker on the trip as he continues his fight with muscular dystrophy. Moments like these are exactly what FFMD is all about: creating experiences, memories, and support for incredible kids and families.

A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored, donated, volunteered, and participated in today’s event. We are honored to be part of such an amazing community making a real difference.
