Be the muscle behind the MDA Muscle Walk! MDA Muscle Walk is a life-changing event that strengthens families and communities. In more than 150 hometowns across America, every event includes a 1- to 3.1-mile lap designed for participants of all ages and abilities, including a wheelchair and equipment friendly course. Leading up to the event, participants and teams fundraise to help MDA find research breakthroughs across diseases, care for kids and adults from day one and empower families with services and support to live longer and grow stronger.

Muscle Walk is more than a fundraising walk. It’s a powerful experience that forges lifelong connections, celebrates families and the barriers they overcome and turns hope into answers. Volunteers will assist with event set up, participant registration, manning activity or refreshment booths, manning our photo station where teams can take photos, cheering on our teams as they participate in the walk, and helping with event tear down.

Founded in Watertown, NY in 1954, the Jefferson Rehabilitation Center (JRC) has provided programs and services to thousands of children and adults in Jefferson County who are developmentally and intellectually disabled. Much has changed since the agency was launched in the basement of a church by a group of farsighted parents.
Today, JRC is an independent, not-for-profit corporation employing over 650 staff members and serving more than 1000 individuals and their families each year. JRC provides a wide range of services that are designed to enhance the quality of life and maximize the potential of persons with disabilities through education, vocational opportunities, training, residential services, inclusion, and advocacy in a community-based setting. A dedicated staff of medical, educational and therapeutic professionals, and specially trained direct care personnel provide the necessary support and training to the individuals JRC supports.
All funds raised from the Scarecrow Scuttle will benefit the people with developmental and intellectual disabilities that the Jefferson Rehabilitation Center supports each day. Participation of volunteers, runners, and sponsors will help JRC to continue its mission of enhancing the quality of life and maximizing the potential of people with disabilities. In previous years funds raised at this event assisted with purchasing specialized wheelchair vans, physical therapy equipment, and recreational involvement for the people supported. Funds raised have also been able to assist families in times of emergencies, as well as purchase educational tools which promote independence.
