I recently agreed to participate in the MDA Lock Up fundraiser. If you’re unfamiliar with this fundraiser this is where local businesses and leaders agree to be ‘jailed’ and to raise ‘bail’ for their release. All of the funds raised go towards the MDA for research, medical assistance, sending children with MDA to summer camp, and more. I am tied in with the Perrysburg area because this is affiliated with work but feel compelled to present it here because money raised is for children nationwide.
I had a couple of friends (if you want to get technical one of them was a ‘girlfriend’ from Junior High who my wife has befriended since – yes I know weird) who had a younger brother who suffered from MD (Muscular Dystrophy). Unfortunately, he passed away just a few years ago … I believe he was all of 16 years old.
More research needs to be completed and more people with this terrible condition need to be helped. This is why I agreed to participate in this fundraiser – both in honor of my friend’s younger brother and for all of those out there that are still affected.
Please, if you can find it in your heart of hearts to donate click my DONATE HERE link. All donations, no matter how big or small are accepted and they are also all tax deductible (the MDA handles all of that and will give you the information on how to prove your contribution/donation). I don’t receive anything for doing this other than the great satisfaction of knowing I am helping those in need. I hope you’ll choose to share in that satisfaction by choosing to contribute to this great charity!
