Muscular Dystrophy weakens the muscles and eventually leads to weakening of the muscles that sustain life. That's why Tom Bell, the Founder of Flex for a Cause, says it's so important for the rest of us to flex our FUNDRAISING muscles, and help fund treatment, and a CURE for Muscular Dystrophy. 
Tom schedules events throughout the year to raise money for research, a summer camp for kids with M.D., as well as to give people in our community a resource for free help, advice, and just a place to start a new path, after a Muscular Dystrophy diagnosis. Hear how Tom's life was impacted by MD, more about what MD does, who's at-risk, how you can help, or how you can get help in this interview!

Local Arborist Rob Kraker says, "Trees are Time." If you don't take care of the trees you have now, it'll take YEARS to grow a new one. Better to learn how to care for your trees, and when to call an expert. He says many certified, licensed arborists will give you a free inspection and tell you what your trees need, and an estimate to get everything healthy. 
In this podcast Rob also talks about pest control and tree problems common to Nashville, and mentions a common practice that a true certified arborist will NOT do to trees.
