I love my husband more than words can say. He proves time and time again that he's compassionate and caring and more than willing to help those in need. Why all the bragging?? Yesterday my husband helped to raise more than $878.00 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) at his Safeway store alone. Anyone who knows us, knows why this organization is so near and dear to our hearts. $82.00 provides one minute of research to find a cure for muscular Dystrophy, $150.00 provides one physical, occupational or respiratory therapy consultation, $500.00 assists one person for one year with the repair of a wheelchair or leg braces and $800.00 sends one child to MDA summer camp. Here's the link to MDA for more information or to make a donation: http://www.mda.org/ Safeway is accepting donations until the end of August for muscular dystrophy, so you can stop by and make your donation as well. This Saturday (8/23) the Lindsay and University Safeway location is competing again to raise money for MDA, so please stop by and make your donation!
Fill The Boot! Something else that makes me proud are the fire fighters who raise money for MDA. The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) is the largest national sponsor of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Here are a few links with information: http://www.iaff.org/MDA/history.asp
