On Sunday, April 27, 2008, two Bangor area chapters participated in the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association Walk, held at the Bangor Mall. Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority, Kappa Lambda Chapter of Husson College, and Kappa Delta Phi National Fraternity, Alpha Alpha chapter of the University of Maine showed their support by raising funds and awareness, and by participating in the walk around the mall.

The MDA serves people in the community with neuromuscular diseases by providing clinics, support groups, assistance with the purchase and repair of wheelchairs, braces and communication devices, as well as summer camp for kids. MDA also funds research seeking treatments and cures for more than 40 neuromuscular diseases that affect people of all ages, right here in our community.

Over $2000 total was raised for this event. A great time was had by all, and it was a great chance for brothers and sisters to come together for a great cause.
