    For more than 65 years, Fill the Boot has been a strong firefighter tradition across America– giving families with muscular dystrophy in hometowns across America hope for the future and support for today. Because of your support, three new drugs for neuromuscular diseases have been recently approved, and more are expected in the next five years than in the past five decades. These treatments are life-changing for MDA families where walking, talking and even breathing can be difficult.
