Make a Muscle-Make a Difference

Our family will be participating in the MDA Muscle Walk on March 26, 2011. We have also become MDA volunteers for the Shamrocks for Dystrophy program. We feel that since we have benefited from the MDA, it is a little something that we can do to give back.

• Muscle Walk- We are raising money and awareness for MDA. The actual walk will be March 26. Me, my husband, our 6 children, and our parents will be participating together. You can see our muscle walk page here.
• Shamrocks for Dystrophy- Have you noticed any stores or restaurants with the little green shamrocks hanging up? This is another fundraiser that helps raise money for clinic visits, the summer camp, and research. The way our family volunteers is that we go to specific stores that participate and simply thank them. We were given fun incentives that we can pass out to the cashiers and other workers. It is nice for these companies to put a face to what they are doing.

I like feeling like we are doing something to help or contribute in some way. There are so many wonderful organizations out there that benefit Muscular Dystrophy in some way, and we are thankful for all of them.
