MDA Bootcamp!




We were invited to go to the Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont MDA Bootcamp in Portsmouth, NH. For those of you who don't know, the MDA host's this event for the firefighters from around these states to "pump them up" for fundraising for the year! The firefighters meet families affected with MD/ALS so they can really get an idea of what the families go through. I was asked to speak and that was challenging but I got through it! It is easy to talk to a large crowd when it is something you are passionate about. There was also fun activities for the kids. Julia and Hannah decorated the firefighters name tags with flowers and rainbow stickers!!! Julia challenged them to a race to put together Mr. Potato Head! She had a blast and the firefighters did too! Here are some pictures from that day!
