Members of the Professional Firefighters of South Walton Local #3516 and South Walton Fire District will hit the streets to fill their fire boots with donations to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Firefighters will collect donations from passersby at the intersections of Gulf and Holiday Rd., Hwy 395-30A, and Hwy 393-30A. Firefighters will staff their posts on April 10th from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm. Last year, Professional Firefighters of South Walton Local # 3516 and South Walton Fire District raised $7,982 for MDA. This year’s goal is set at $15,000.
Funds raised by the firefighters give MDA, a voluntary health agency, the means to continue providing direct services, research and professional and public health education to children and adults with neuromuscular diseases in Northwest Florida.
MDA medical services are available in the area at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital in Panama City for those who are diagnosed with any of the 43 neuromuscular diseases covered by MDA. MDA also provides fun-filled summer camps throughout the region for individuals, ages 6 to 17, with muscular dystrophy. This year’s camp will be August 1-6.
