At the Muscular Dystrophy Association, we believe in living life, unlimited.

Everyone has their reason to ride. And for 38 years now, Harley-Davidson has made theirs about supporting MDA. This summer, were celebrating Harley-Davidson and inviting you to pull back the throttle as we ride to Milwaukee in support of families impacted by muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases.

Founded by a group of families in 1950, families are at the heart of everything we do today.

Finding research breakthroughs across diseases to accelerate treatments & cures

Caring for kids and adults from day one at MDA Care Centers

Empowering families with services and support in hometowns across America

Each day these freedoms are taken away from kids and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases that weaken muscle strength and limit mobility. Together we can change that.

Whether youre looking to volunteer at a camp or a local office, organize a group of friends to fundraise, run a marathon, or advocate for the cause, the ways to get involved are endless.
