Dad rows nonstop for 31 hours to raise nearly $600k for sick son

Joe Jackson’s son, William, is 6 years old and has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease that can claim the lives of boys and young men. Through the organization Cure Rare Disease, the family found a potential treatment option that comes at a big cost, so Jackson set out to raise some of those funds by rowing 157 miles nonstop through rapids over the course of 31 hours. #cnn #cnnnews #musculardystrophy #cureraredisease #wewillforwilliam
