Meet Kay Bracero
Noah was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. Then at age 5, he received a diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Kay, 43, is both Noah’s father and sole family caregiver, with occasional assistance from Kay’s mom.
November is National Family Caregivers Month, and MDA takes this opportunity to honor all caregivers who — with extraordinary compassion and commitment — give so much of themselves for the health, well-being and independence of individuals with neuromuscular disease. Thank you, MDA caregivers, for all you do!
