August 26, 2025•1 min read

From childhood friends to changemakers, Kelly Bohm and Amber Nisley share a bond that has carried them through every season of life, from nursery school days and high school basketball games to raising families and facing life-altering challenges. In this heartfelt conversation, Amber opens up about her son Austin’s journey with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the early days of coping with his diagnosis, and the founding of Austin’s Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families impacted by Duchenne. Together, Kelly and Amber reflect on the power of faith, friendship, and community, and how love can transform grief into action.

Listeners will hear stories of resilience, fundraising success, and the everyday moments that give Austin joy, like being part of his middle school football team. This episode is a powerful reminder that while Duchenne brings real challenges, hope has the power to move mountains.
