I'm pumped up about the MDA Muscle Walk.
I'm Making a Muscle to Make A Difference in 2013!
I am proud to say over several years I have been a Volunteer, Advocate, and Goodwill Ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association here in Central New York. Every event I have participated in has been a very rewarding experience.
The highlight for me has been attending MDA's summer camp on Visitor's Day. At summer camp, children with Muscular Dystrophy. For one week they get to attend camp, which is designed for children with special needs. The children get to swim, rock climb, fish, paddle boat, etc. for a whole week. On Visitor's Day they have a carnival for the kids. Last year my table was find a fish and win a WWE t-shirt. The look on the kids faces when they saw the t-shirt was nothing but pure joy!
You can even check out the camp: http://www.sunshinecampus.org/
All monies raised stay here in Central New York, helping families affected by Muscular Dystrophy. Below is a list of what the monies are used for:
$30 Flu Shot
$70 One minute of MDA supported research
$100 One support group session
$150 One physical, occupational, respiratory or speech therapy consultation
$300 Professional fees related to initial diagnostic work-up at an MDA clinic
$500 Assists one person for one year with repairs to durable medical equipment
$800 Week at MDA summer camp for one child
Without your generosity none of this would be possible. Please take a moment and make a donation.
Make a Muscle. Make a Difference.®
