The MDA Muscle Walk is the Muscular Dystrophy Association's annual walk event to build awareness of muscle diseases that weaken the musculoskeletal system. This event also raises money for research and support of patients and their families. It is held in various locations in the United States.〔(Find a Walk ) - MDA Muscle Walk official website (accessed February 22, 2013)〕 ==About==
Started in 2010, the goal of this annual series of walks is to raise money for more than 300 research projects worldwide; MDA’s nationwide network of 200 clinics, including 42 MDA/ALS centers, staffed by experts in the diagnosis and medical management of muscular dystrophy and related disease; 80 week-long summer camp sessions each year, providing a barrier-free camp experience for some 3,500 children, with more than 4,300 volunteer camp counselors; and MDA’s equipment program, which helps MDA families by lending durable medical equipment (such as wheelchairs) as needed and providing financial assistance for repairs.〔(Where Your Money Goes ) - ''MDA Muscle Walk'' (accessed February 22, 2013)〕 Participants of all ages are not required to pay a registration fee. However, they are highly encouraged to donate to the organization and help raise a certain amount of funds, depending on the size of the metro area. Each local Muscle Walk event is different, but all walks are non-competitive and most average a mile or less. In many cases, there is one "Victory Lap" for walkers.〔(Frequently Asked Questions ) - ''MDA Muscle Walk'' (accessed February 22, 2013)〕 The MDA supports its participants before the event by providing fundraising advice and a personal fundraising webpage.
