WHAT: Families from across Minnesota will come together to support Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) at Mall of America® for the MDA Muscle Walk on Saturday, May 2.
Thousands of MDA supporters will join forces to make a difference in the lives of people fighting life-threatening muscle disease in Minnesota and across the nation. Event activities include face painting, banner making and a Cross Fit demonstration.
Funds raised through the Muscle Walk program build on decades of MDA research progress in the search for treatments and cures. Other programs funded by MDA walk proceeds include state-of-the-art clinics, support groups and MDA summer camp where kids with muscle disease can enjoy the best week of the year.
