12th Annual Live Ride for MDA

On Saturday, July 17, 2010 we will be conducting the 12th Annual Live Ride for MDA. All types and brands of motorcycles and motorcyclists are welcome to come and have a good time.

We ride from the Anchorage City Church and our destination is Kenai Peninsula Harley-Davidson. The Parade of Heroes will ride from Sterling to KPHD.

The Live Ride for MDA typically makes stops for gas/comfort at Girdwood, Sunrise Inn, and Cooks Corner in Sterling. Come alone or in groups. Check with your local riding organization as they may already be planning to ride with us!

  • 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.
