Episode 14: Boris Struk - A Father’s Fight: Love, Legacy and Muscular Dystrophy

What would you do if your child’s life depended on it?

For Boris Struk, the answer was simple, everything. When his son Ryan was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, Boris turned heartbreak into action, founding Muscular Dystrophy Australia and dedicating his life to creating change.

In this powerful conversation, Boris shares the story behind that fight: the speech that ignited a movement, the belief that “nothing is impossible,” and the extraordinary achievements that followed, from raising over $43 million to establishing a world-class research centre and running more than 100 family camps.

We also explore the deeply personal side of his journey, the love of a father, the grief of loss, and the resilience it takes to keep moving forward while building a legacy that continues to change lives.

This is more than a story about muscular dystrophy. It’s about hope, determination, and the power of believing that if you try, you might just get there.

Listen now and be inspired by what’s possible when love drives the mission.
