Dr. Douglas Downey was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama and has had a heart for children and his community since before he can remember. Giving back has always been a part of who he was so it’s no surprise that this care for the community and desire to help people ultimately led him to both serve in the United States Airforce and after graduating medical school at UAB, to eventually become a general surgeon at Huntsville Hospital.

We hope you’ll watch the journey as he tries to transition charge-downs to the Cha Cha and a tackle to the TANGO. His goal the whole way will be to raise money and awareness for the children of HEALS; to make a difference in our community.
Douglas also wants to make his three children proud, or at the very least not embarrass them with his “moves” so he’ll do whatever it takes to win for this cause. Maybe that means a little yoga to help his flex become more flexible, or some ballet to make a ballroom beauty of this rugby beast. Support Douglas on his next mission, as a Star dancing for HEALS!
