Teenager Joe Kindregan has a degenerative disease called Ataxia - Telangiectasia (A-T). There's no cure for this disease yet, most children who have A-T die by their late teens or early 20's. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner met Kindregan nine years ago, and have remained in contact while continuing the fight. Affleck raises awareness and has lobbied Congress for additional research funding. Endurance runner Tim Borland is bringing light to this disease through his athletic tour. Borland ran 63 marathons in 63 days.
