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.
