2010 Stride & Ride

Stride & Ride is an indoor mall walk taking place at the Mall At Sears on Saturday, April 17th. Form a team today (5 people including yourself) by calling Sabrina at MDA at 276-2131. This event promises to be a fun event for a great cause! We ask that you, as a Team Captain, recruit at least four other people to participate on your team. Your team will join all of our other teams as we walk one mile together as part of the MDA family to raise money to help fight neuromuscular diseases. The Mall at Sears will provide a great indoor location to Stride & Ride for all our participants.  Call us today to get started!

  • 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.
