These are causes close to Coach Richt as both Parkinson’s and Crohn’s impact his family – along with over 4 million other Americans. Coach Richt’s granddaughter, Jadyn, was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease as an infant in 2015. Then in 2021, Coach Richt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. To support others fighting these diseases, the Richt family is focused on raising awareness and funding for Parkinson’s and Crohn’s research.
