The McGregor Volunteer Fire Department will partner up with the Muscular Dystrophy Association on July 30 for MDA's Fill the Boot campaign.McGregor fire fighters will fill their boots with donations for MDA from residents and passersby at the intersection of Highway 84 and Main Street and the Brookshire's parking lot between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. on July 30. Texas fire fighters raised more than $4 million for the Association in 2010, and McGregor fire fighters want to help increase that number for 2011.
The Fill the Boot campaign sends young people with neuromuscular disease to MDA Summer Camps, including Camp John Marc in Meridian, and supports clinics at Hillcrest Family Health Clinic, Round Rock Medical Center, and Specially for Children.
MDA is the nonprofit health agency dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases by funding worldwide research. The Association also provides comprehensive health care and support services, advocacy, and education. MDA's annual Labor Day Telethon will air in the Waco area on Sunday, September 4 from 5:30 p.m. to midnight on News Channel 25, and up-to-date information about MDA services and research can be found at www.MDA.org.
