Muscular Distrophy Association

Half a century of help...
                                                ...millions to fight muscular dystrophy

America's letter carriers have helped lead the search for cure for neuromuscular diseases for half a century. The NALC was the first national sponsor of the Muscular Dystrophy Association and letter carriers are among MDA's top fund-raisers, collecting more than $20 million in the past 15 years alone to finance research and provide care and services for children and adults with muscular dystrophies. NALC's local branches and state associations are honored annually during the Jerry Lewis over the Labor Day weekend for their efforts.
