2010 Live Ride For MDA
It is with heartfelt appreciation that the families of MDA in Alaska thank you for raising more than $48,000 in 2009. We could not continue to strive for a cure for muscular dystrophy without the loyal support of our Alaskan biker friends. MDA is again asking your support in the continuing fight against neuromuscular disease.
Live Ride for MDA is getting a face lift…We have a new ending destination…Kenai Peninsula Harley-Davidson! As always we will start at the Anchorage City Church and we’ll have stops along the way. For those of you in the Valley there is registration at Denali Harley-Davidson. Packets are on sale now, get yours today! Packets are available at House of Harley-Davidson and Buell in Spenard, Denali Harley-Davidson in the Valley, Kenai Peninsula Harley-Davidson in Soldotna and the Muscular Dystrophy Association office at 121 West Fireweed Lane.

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.
