If you see a guy around town holding a big rubber boot on Aug. 6, stuff some money in it. LaPorte Professional Firefighters will hit the streets starting at 1 p.m. to “Fill the Boot” to help fight muscular dystrophy.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the partnership between the MDA and the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF). “Fill The Boot” is an honored tradition for both organizations to fight muscle diseases that threaten the lives of infants, children and adults. To date the IAFF has raised $530 million for MDA.
