Members of Janesville Firefighters Charities and L580 recently attended Muscular Dystrophy Association Boot Camp!

Boot Camp is held each year to go over the progress MDA has made along with tips we can use to make our “Fill the Boot” Campaign even more successful! We also have the opportunity to meet families who either have a muscular dystrophy disease or have family members affected by the disease. It is truly humbling to meet these incredible families who are continuously beating the odds!

We wanted to thank MDA for inviting us to boot camp again this year, along with the Milwaukee Brewers for hosting us and inviting us to a game afterwards! As always it was a great time!
