MDA Activities

David is a summer camper; it is the best week of the summer to him! He loves representing MDA at fire houses, “Shambassador” visits, leading his Muscle Walk team, Boot Camp and the Boston Muscle Team! His favorite MDA Ambassador memory was meeting another MDA family that showed David his artwork and gave him an original drawing. David is excited to be the MA State Goodwill Ambassador as he is looking forward to helping out with MDA events! He is definitely not camera shy and noted that he is most looking forward to taking pictures with everyone he meets at MDA events!
