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,
