MSA Coalition

Austin Crawford has Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). It is a very rare and terminal neurological disease. Austin describes the symptoms as being similar to a combination of Parkinson's and ALS. Despite the diagnosis of MSA, he maintains a positive attitude as he works to create awareness and raise money for much needed research and education.For more information about Multiple System Atrophy go to: https://www.multiplesystematrophy.org/about-MSATo help, please consider a donation in honor of Austin to the Multiple System Atrophy Coalition: 

Directed by Phil Gioja

Multiple System Atrophy is a devastating and quickly-developing disease with no known cause or cure. By chance Phil Gioja connected with Austin, and after learning his story Center Street Productions partnered with The MSA Coalition to tell his bittersweet story as he faces this debilitating disease with a bold face and a community of friends.
