During the 2017 Muscular Dystrophy Association Fill the Boot campaign, the dedicated members of the Dawson County Emergency Services department took to the streets to help kids and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related life-threatening diseases live longer and grow stronger. More than $11,800 was raised to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association through Aug.31, Sept. 1 and Sept. 2. “The firefighters of the Dawson County Emergency Services Department have once again shown their immense dedication and care for MDA’s families during this year’s Fill the Boot campaign,” said MDA Representative Abby Ruffner.
