Phil Martin
Macon, Georgia
Phil Martin’s Betaseron® Champions of Courage grant helped him to purchase a 27-foot Stiletto catamaran for instructing people with disabilities. This particular size of catamaran is ideal for this use because of its flat and steady design. The boat enables large groups to experience sailing, including people from Phil's MS chapter, and other disabled community members.
