I've agreed to be "locked up" to help the Muscular Dystrophy Association raise money. On April 10th I will be whisked away to a maximum security restaurant and held until I can raise enough "bail" to be released. The last time I did this I was able to raise over $1200. This time I am setting my goal at $1600. Would you be willing to help? You can even bail me out on-line.
76% of every dollar MDA raises goes directly to research, health care services and education.
- $25 pays for a flu shot for someone for whom respiratory disease could be very dangerous
- $100 covers a vital support group meeting
- $150 provides for an expert consultation in physical, occupational or respiratory therapy
- $200 covers a diagnostic workup at one of MDA's 235 clinics
- $650 sends a kid to one of MDA's 90 summer camp sessions
- $1,200 pays for 12 months of support group meetings helping families cope with the challenges of neuromuscular disease
- $2,000 assists someone with the purchase of a wheelchair, leg braces or communication device
- $3,900 pays of an hour of MDA's research seeking treatments and cures for more than 40 neuromuscular diseases
- $6500 would send 10 of "Jerry's kids" to MDA summer camp for a week of fun and recreation geared to their abilities
I am grateful that this blog reaches such a large and diverse audience. If you find it in your heart, could you please help me help the Muscular Dystrophy Association? Thank you.
Back to financial planning in my next post.
