Five Medicine Hat firefighters were fortunate to play in the IAFF Hockey Tournament in Calgary Apr 9-12.  They played alongside Prince Albert Firefighters to form a team and represented well with making playoffs through a wildcard and finally losing in the finals to Kelowna Firefighters by a score of 3-1.

Fire Fighters have been supporters and fundraisers for Muscular Dystrophy Canada since 1954. They continue to amaze us with their commitment to the over 50,000 Canadians affected by neuromuscular disorders. Campouts are just one more example of their valor and community spirit.

Medicine Hat Fire Fighters have earned the respect of their community and with the support of local citizens and businesses will be raising funds that will have a tremendous positive impact on the quality of life of those affected by neuromuscular disorders. Medicine Hat Fire Fighters are honoured to partner with Muscular Dystrophy Canada and are committed to the cause and helping to achieve the mission of enhancing the lives of those affected with neuromuscular disorders by continually working to provide ongoing support and resources while relentlessly searching for a cure, with the firm belief that we will make our vision of finding a cure for neuromuscular disorders in our lifetime a reality.

Dear friends,

On behalf of Muscular Dystrophy Canada, and those we serve, I want to thank you for your donation and participation in support of the 2nd Annual Medicine Hat Fire Fighter Rooftop Campout. Just over $9,400.00 was raised. 

For more than half a century, Muscular Dystrophy Canada has been providing essential programs and services to those in need.  We are proud that Canadian Fire Fighters have been with us since the beginning, donating their time, energy and passion to help families affected by neuromuscular disorders.  They have greatly improved the quality of life for those with neuromuscular disorders as well as the quality of our organization.  Their efforts enable us to ensure the continuity of our programs and services, and to further our commitment to Canadian scientific research in the search for causes, treatments, and cures for neuromuscular disorders. 

Thank you again for your contribution and time.  Your generosity is truly appreciated and will help make it possible for people with muscular dystrophy to live independently and contribute fully in their own communities. 

Sincerely,

Patrick Jérôme

Muscular Dystrophy Chair
