COVID-19 Won’t Stop Us MDA PSAs

Hello,

Through this challenging time we have appreciated the support you have shown for Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) during the COVID-19 pandemic by sharing our public service announcement, COVID-19 Won’t Stop Us with your audiences. We still need your help to continue our mission through this crisis.

COVID-19 Won’t Stop Us highlights the life-saving care that Muscular Dystrophy Association is providing to one of the most vulnerable communities at this time, adults and children with muscular dystrophy, ALS and over 40 neuromuscular diseases. This community is particularly at risk from COVID-19 due to their significant muscle deterioration that can lead to reduced function of respiratory and cardiac function. Additionally, those with neuromuscular diseases are facing increasing isolation from care givers and assistance they desperately rely on.

Muscular Dystrophy Association is on the frontline protecting communities across the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have set up guidance and programming here. MDA is working with our medical teams at over 150 MDA Care Centers to share new treatment guidelines, best practices for telemedicine and providing additional education and support to families. In addition to helping adults and children with neuromuscular disease, MDA is helping all American’s by advocating for no-cost COVID-19 testing for all, ensuring state Medicaid programs have the proper funding they need to respond to this crisis and that state and hospital triage policies do not discriminate.

You can make a difference during this difficult time by airing COVID-19 Won’t Stop Us PSAs, available in a variety of lengths, as soon, and as often, as possible at VNR1

We hope you can support MDA’s 70-year commitment to transforming the lives of individuals with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases through research, care and advocacy. As the largest and longest-established organization for people with neuromuscular diseases, MDA works tirelessly on behalf of the neuromuscular disease community and we will continue to do so.

Thank you in advance for your support of Muscular Dystrophy Association. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Fiance, at mfiance@mdausa.org.

Sincerely,

Mary Fiance
