Helping Jerry's Kids.

Stride & Ride

This is a chance for the families, the volunteers, the clients, the sponsors…for everyone to come together and fight back against Muscular Dystrophy! We raise money all year for the services that we provide to our clients throughout Alaska…the difference of this event is that ALL the money raised will go to research! The cost of research is $85 a minute and just think….the one minute that finds a cure COULD be funded by YOU! It’s never too early to recruit team members or team captains!

Registering online is easy! Just go to https://www.joinmda.org/stride09 and follow the registration instructions!

Stride & Ride will take place on Saturday, April 18th, at the Mall at Sears. Registration begins at 8:00 am and the walk begins at 9:00 am.

If you would like a registration packet, or if you have any questions about Stride & Ride, please call the MDA office at 276-2131.

  • Telethon

    The Telethon is the single most important fund raising event of the year for MDA. In 2009, $403,267 was raised statewide Alaska during the two day broadcast carried on KTUU, Channel 2 in Anchorage and KTVF, Channel 11 in Fairbanks. Funds raised help the Association carry on its fight against over 40 neuro-muscular diseases, including a worldwide program of basic and applied research, a nationwide network of comprehensive medical and support services, and extensive professional and public education. Children and adults with neuro-muscular diseases benefit directly from dollars raised during the Telethon.

  • Research

    MDA is the world's largest non-governmental sponsor of research seeking the causes of and effective treatments for neuro-muscular diseases, sponsoring some 400 research projects annually.

  • MDA Worldwide

    MDA has long had a worldwide impact. Since 1951, MDA has funneled almost $50 million to researchers in 36 countries on six continents. And many times that amount has been awarded in MDA research grants in the United States.
