Conner is one of my true heroes. He a 7th grader with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a degenerative disease. He comes to my office each year to talk about funding treatments and cures and he’s the bravest friggin kid I know.

Conner’s courage & conviction are inspiring. For 8 years, I’ve fought alongside him & his family to help support lifesaving treatments for kids suffering from rare diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

For my entire Phish life, I've seen shows where in the back of my mind I'd think "no Gamehendge songs in this run" and then dismiss Gamehendge from possibly happening because it had been so long or rare. To get it and witness it brought to life tonight with actors/dancers: UNREAL

Today, we approved the first gene therapy for the treatment of patients 4-5 years of age with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) with a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene who do not have a pre-existing medical reason why they can't receive this therapy. fda.gov/news-events/press-an…

My friend Conner Curran is 12 and he’s one of my heroes. He lives with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and advocates for kids like him. He helped convince me to bring $2m in federal money to Connecticut for research on muscular dystrophy. I was so glad to see him yesterday.

According to Forbes, the Mets made over $300M in revenue last year. They’ll be just fine. MLB is a multi-BILLION dollar industry. Teams aren’t inflating the market, they’re finally just paying players what they’re worth.
