Boot drive ready to go FIREFIGHTERS have a saying about muscular dystrophy, says Capt." David Grubb of the Thorn- hill Volunteer Fire Depart- ment — Until there’s a. cure, there’s us. Since 1954, Canada’s firefighters have headed out, boots in hand, to raise | money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada. The long-standing cam-' paign provides 80 per cent of the Muscular Dystrophy Associalion’s annual fund- ing, Grubb said, For the first time ever, the Thornhill Volunteer. Firefighter Association are taking up the lacal cam- paign, normally spearhea- ded by Terrace firefighters. Terrace’s firefighters are instead this year hald- ing a different boot drive to aid victims of the World Trade Centre disaster. They'll be out Nov. 16 and 17 raising money for the International Associa- tion of Fire Fighters relief funds for New York City. Grubb said Thornhill’s firefighters fear the Musc- ular Dystrophy Association may lose much-needed support this year. “Nine people in our re- gion receive money and assistance from the Musc- ular Dystrophy Associa- tion,” Grubb said, He adding each will re- ceive an estimated ‘$72,000 each over a life- time in services and sup- port. “We feel it's a very worthwhile need,” Grubb said. Muscular dystrophy is a heuromuscular disorder, that causes muscles to weaken and degenerate. About 10,000 people across the country, includ- ing 1,000 in B.C., are re- gistered with the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada. . The association helps people with a range of neuromuscular disorders and dystrophies. The firefighter boot ‘drive is its main money- raising campaign each year, “We feel very strongly about this,” Grubb added. In 1999, firefighters across the country raised more than $1 million. Between Nov. 19 and 24, Thornhill’s firefighters will ask local businesses to place a boot on their sales counters to raise money for muscular dys- trophy. As well, the Thorahill Volunteer Firefighter As- sociation are donating their proceeds from two ‘Jocal dances they provide door and refreshment ser- vices for - the Nov. 3 drag racing association’s ban- quet and the Dec, 1 truck- er’s annual Christmas party. To join the campaign, call 638-1466. Prowlers sought POLICE ARE looking for more witnesses after two men were seen scaling ‘a balcony at the Summit ‘Square apartments Oct, 19.
