Harley-Davidson has partnered with MDA families for over 38 years. The Harley-Davidson family of dealers, customers, employees, suppliers and H.O.G. chapters have raised more than $100 million for MDA. Each year, riders visit 80 MDA summer camps to host barbeques and give side-car races and temporary tattoos to admiring youngsters. Today, what began as a charitable idea has become something more personal — a matter of the heart.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association holds a Monday care clinic within Texas Children’s Hospital. This clinic allows children to be seen by a variety of specialists for neuromuscular disease.
