Sound Excited Podcast 9

Our ninth Sound Excited podcast brings us Ryan Benton from Wichita, Kansas. Ryan was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at age three. While given a short life expectancy, he is now 27 and has benefitted greatly from adult stem cell therapy. Ryan’s inspiring story is accompanied by his new efforts to further fund stem cell research and therapy via a benefit compilation album, Coming Together For A Cure Vol. 2.
