Hop-A-Thon

Hopping up-and-down is normal activity for toddlers. So isn’t it great that they can do what they love and help other children affected by neuromuscular diseases.

The pre-school and kindergarten children of The Goddard School Ashburn will be doing just that on Friday April 23rd when they take part in the Muscular Dystrophy Hop-A -Thon.

The children will be obtaining pledges from family members, friends, and neighbors for the number of pogo-like hops they make in a 2-minute period. Then they will donate the funds to MDA. The Hop-A-Thon is part of MDA’s national disability awareness initiative, organized by child-care centers and schools across the country.

All the money raised by this event will be used to fund summer-camp getaways for children with neuromuscular disease, assist with buying and repairing wheelchairs and leg braces, fund research seeking treatment and cures, provide support programs for families, and more.

Let’s get hopping for a great cause on Friday!
