Last month A couple Perrysburg Firefighters traveled to Lexington MI for this years MDA camp. The camp consists of a couple hundred kids that stay for a week along the beautiful Lake Huron, just to have fun. We were fortunate enough to be invited to share in the experience. We spent the day helping the kids go horse back riding, build crafts, and participate in a parade. It was great to eat lunch with the kids, get to know the counselors, and find out about the ice cream machine that is on 24 hrs a day.......are you kidding. The experience was great and really drove home the reason why firefighters across the nation donate so much time to raise money for finding a cure. Look for us throughout the season as we try to raise money for this worthy cause. In addition, the Labor day telethon is coming soon!
