Fishing for MD - Muscular Dystrophy

FFMD is a professional offshore fishing team that increases awareness and inspires those affected with neuromuscular disease.

We provide financial support to the muscular dystrophy community and the Muscular Dystrophy Association through our foundation. The Fishing For MD team, or FFMD, was founded by Paul Robertson, a native of Maryland and successful entrepreneur and businessman, who has also been diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy (MD). Paul was diagnosed with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) 15 years ago, but tha

t has not stopped him. After dealing with mobility challenges, Paul decided it was time to not only become a champion and spokesperson for muscular dystrophy, but also use his talent and passion for fishing and align it with his dedication to increasing research funding, awareness, and support for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). FFMD is launching a professional full-time offshore fishing team that will compete at the highest attended and most publicized events on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico, and will be attending numerous events to support our partner network of top tier corporations. Soon after the offshore launch, FFMD will add to the program with a salt water in-shore team and freshwater bass team, each led by another person with a muscle disease and passion for fishing.

Another incredible week at Walker’s Cay for Team FFMD. We’re grateful for the opportunity to compete alongside some of the best fishing teams in the world while spending time with great friends both on and off the water.

This trip was especially meaningful being able to share the experience with my wife and daughter at such an iconic and legendary place in the Bahamas. is truly one of those special destinations that brings together world-class sportfishing, unforgettable memories, and incredible people.

Getting a trip to the podium is always the goal, and we’re proud to have had success this week against such an elite field. Congratulations to all of the winners and teams that battled it out all tournament long.

A huge thank you to Carl and Gigi Allen for hosting such a first-class event and creating an atmosphere that showcases the very best of competition, camaraderie, and sportfishing.

10 years ago today we flash back… the original FFMD 435CC was out chasing pelagic fish, making memories, and helping build what Fishing for Muscular Dystrophy has become today.

What started with a passion for fishing and giving back has grown into an incredible community of supporters, anglers, families, sponsors, and friends all working together to make a difference in the fight against muscular dystrophy.

Looking back at this photo reminds us that it was never just about the boats, tournaments, or fishing trips — it has always been about the people, the purpose, and the impact we can make together.

From those early days on the Everglades 435 to where FFMD is today, we are beyond grateful for everyone who has supported the mission along the way. And while we’re proud of how far things have come, we’re even more excited about where things are headed next.

We’ve got some big plans on the horizon for something new, meaningful, and impactful for individuals and families living with muscular dystrophy — and we can’t wait to share more soon.

Here’s to the memories, the miles offshore, the friendships built, and the future ahead. 🎣💙

From the waters of Palm Beach to the history of Athens 🇬🇷🎣

No matter where people travel, we’re proud to have folks represent FFMD and continue spreading awareness for families battling muscular dystrophy around the world. Standing among thousands of years of history at the Acropolis is a reminder that lasting impact is built over time — and together, our FFMD community continues to make a difference every day.

Thank you to everyone who supports Fishing for Muscular Dystrophy through tournaments, events, donations, and shared stories. Your support helps create hope, memories, and opportunities for so many families.

Today the FFMD team was proud to participate in the 32nd Annual Ed Morse MDA Golf Classic Tournament at PGA National in North Palm Beach.

It was an incredible day supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association and helping raise more than $400,000 for families battling muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular diseases.

One of the highlights of the day was successfully auctioning off a Palm Beach sailfishing trip on the new FFMD 72C specifically designed for those with muscular dystrophy and other mobility challenges — generously won by a donor who is planning to take Parker on the trip as he continues his fight with muscular dystrophy. Moments like these are exactly what FFMD is all about: creating experiences, memories, and support for incredible kids and families.

A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored, donated, volunteered, and participated in today’s event. We are honored to be part of such an amazing community making a real difference.
