Fishing for MD (Muscular Dystrophy) is a nonprofit organization based in Laurel, Maryland, that centers its activities on supporting muscular dystrophy research, awareness, and related outreach through fishing-focused initiatives. Founded by Paul Robertson, who has limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, the group aims to combine his passion for fishing with advocacy and fundraising in partnership with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The organization plans to field a professional offshore fishing team that competes at major events on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico, with plans to expand to saltwater in-shore and freshwater bass programs led by individuals with muscle diseases. A recent development highlighted is a partnership with Everglades Boats to raffle a vessel in support of their mission, illustrating the organization’s approach to engaging supporters and driving donations through high-profile events. Serving a niche at the intersection of sport and philanthropy, FFMD positions itself within the nonprofit sector as a vehicle to raise research funding and awareness through competitive fishing activities.
