Jenn McNary, Austin’s mother, helps Austin from his wheelchair into the pool. The swimming pool built into their house is often the only way that Austin can exercise. Austin and his brother both suffer from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Austin is completely wheelchair-bound and struggles doing basic activities such as brushing his teeth and drinking out of a glass (he can no longer drink out of a glass without a straw) while his brother Max can run and jump around like a normal kid. Max is benefiting from a drug called eteplirsen through a clinical trial. Jenn fights daily to try to get Austin on the drug that could save his life, but is still in the trial stage. Austin has to watch his brother get better by the day while his disease progresses. “Our family is normal, we have good days and bad days, but one thing stays the same. Every day is a fight to save our sons lives,” Jenn says. (Photo by MADDIE MCGARVEY/FREE PRESS)
