ABOUT MDA Team Momentum:
MDA Team Momentum is a nationwide endurance program that gives beginner and endurance pros alike the opportunity to participate in an endurance race, a marathon or half-marathon, and dedicate their efforts to the fight against muscular dystrophy, ALS and related life-threatening diseases that severely limit strength and mobility for those affected.

Every mile logged and every dollar raised will help MDA find treatments and cures for these debilitating diseases while supporting its life-enhancing programs such as state-of-the-art support groups and clinics, and will help send local children to a week where anything is possible at MDA summer camp at no cost to their families.
