Firefighters to Fill the Boot for MDA on May 27

---

East Bernard Fire Fighters will gear up to fight neuromuscular diseases by participating in the Fill the Boot campaign from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, May 27, at the U.S. 90A-State Highway 60 intersection.

Proceeds from Fill the Boot are to benefit research and local services for the Houston/Gulf Coast chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Fill the Boot takes place throughout the U.S. annually and has been raising money for families served by MDA for more than 50 years.

Proceeds help support MDA services and research programs, including MDA's outpatient clinics at Texas Children's Hospital and The Methodist Neurological Institute.

Fill the Boot also sends youths ages 6 to 17 who are living with neuromuscular diseases to MDA Summer Camp at "Camp For All" in Burton.

For more information, contact MDA Fundraising Coordinator Julianne at 713-522-1426 or jrichards@mdausa. org.
