Kicks For a Cure a Success in 2010 Every time Brockport kicker E.J. Genzano steps onto the field for a field goal or extra point attempt, under his “Kicking for the Cure” efforts, all proceeds will go to raise awareness and money for Muscular Dystrophy research. When his parents, Emilio and Jill Genzano, adopted Joey from Omaha, Neb., E.J. was thrilled he’d finally have his little brother. Someone to play sports with and get into mischief the way brothers often do. But when Joey arrived into the family’s home in Guilderland, N.Y. when E.J. was 5 years old, his parents had a warning for E.J.: Something was wrong with Joey, and the family had no idea what was plaguing the child.
where any save made by a Brockport goalie raised money for cancer treatment. The cause was started by Todd Sheridan (Edison, NJ), a 2010 graduate and cancer survivor. Along with his parents, Joey attended several of Brockport’s games in 2009, and was often in the stands sporting a homemade No. 84 jersey or other Brockport paraphernalia. Emilio Genzano said Joey’s condition is terminal and that most children with MMD don’t make it out of their teenage years. Including fundraising efforts in his hometown, E.J., Jill and Emilio have raised more than $500,000 for Muscular Dystrophy research.
Neither did his doctors, until he was 2 ½ years old, when his doctor at Strong Memorial Hospital confirmed the bad news: Joey was suffering from Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy, a rare disease that affects the body’s muscles and other vital organs. Babies such as Joey, who was believed to have been born with the disorder, suffer from a more severe form of the disease. As a result, among the symptoms, Joey lacks tone on his body’s muscles, his cheeks sag in on his face and he’s unable to speak in complete sentences. Genzano wants to do his share to support his younger brother. After going to a Brockport men’s ice hockey home game last year, Genzano witnessed the team’s annual ‘Saves for a Cure’ charity,
