Today’s event at the Prudential Center in Newark paid tribute to children and adults served by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and raised funds in support of MDA’s global research program for muscular dystrophy and related diseases.
More than 50,000 people nationwide participated in MDA Muscle Walks last year, raising a record-breaking $7 million. More than $23 million has been raised since the Walk began three years ago — making it the largest event of its kind in the country.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is the world’s leading nonprofit health agency dedicated to finding treatments and cures for muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neuromuscular diseases. It does so by funding worldwide research; by providing comprehensive health care services and support to MDA families nationwide; and by rallying communities to fight back through advocacy, fundraising and local engagement.
