“The dedication and passion for MDA’s mission that the Chattanooga Fire Fighters show is so remarkable,” said Regional Manager of Firefighter Partnerships, Holly Carroll. “We’re grateful for the support of these inspiring, selfless individuals who provide life-saving help that will fund research, advocate for children and adults affected by muscle disease, and rally our community to fight back.”
“Our Fill the Boot campaign is very important to us,” said Fire Chief Phil Hyman. “We’ve seen what muscular dystrophy can do and we’re asking for the public’s support in fighting this terrible disease.” Funds raised through 2018 Chattanooga Fill the Boot events empower families with life-enhancing resources and support that open new possibilities and maximize independence, so they can experience the world without any limits.
