Sigma Phi Epsilons to Hold 6th Annual Muscle Walk at UNK – Dec. 4

KEARNEY, Neb. Sigma Phi Epsilons 6th Annual Muscle Walk event at the University of Nebraska at Kearney is this Thursday December 4 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

UNK officials say the Muscle Walk, which will take place in the UNK Cushing Fieldhouse, will include games inspired by activities that children with muscular dystrophy experience while attending MDA summer camps.

Sigma Phi Epsilon set a goal of $10,000. Members are raising money by collecting donations, proceeds from donations at the event and business sponsorships.

UNK officials say the amount raised by the men of Sigma Phi Epsilon will be matched with a donation from Womack Machine & Supply Company in Texas. The proceeds go to the Omaha headquarters for MDA.

Part of the money goes to the national research efforts, and part goes to support local families who have one or more members with muscular dystrophy, said Bryce Clay of Columbus, co- chair of Muscle Walk.

UNK officials say Muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disease that results in muscle weakness and a decrease in muscle mass. MDA supports cutting-edge research, ensures that Americans affected by the disease receive treatment and critical care, and serves as a voice for families with neuromuscular disease.
