Subject: Know of AMA member w Muscular Dystrophy?
Importance: High

Hi Everyone:

Our PR firm, JWalcher has an opportunity to place a story about the
therapeutic benefits of RC flying in Quest magazine, the national magazine
of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The editor would like to interview an
AMA member, who flies RC and has Muscular Dystrophy. Do you know of an AMA
member it that flies and has Muscular Dystrophy that would be willing to be
interviewed? Please think deeply on this one as it is a wonderful
opportunity for both the AMA and those with disabilities.

In addition, we would like to know of AMA members/fliers with any
disabilities for other therapeutic benefits of RC flying programs and
stories we are working on.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi all-

I have been in touch with Quest magazine, the Muscular Dystrophy
Association's national magazine - circulation 130,000, about highlighting
the hobby of model flying. The editor is very interested as model flying
could be a really accessible hobby for his readers; however, he has
requested to speak to one or two model flyers (AMA members) with Muscular
Dystrophy.

Do you know of any members with Muscular Dystrophy?

Thanks,
