Edward Curry arrested to benefit Muscular Dystrophy Research

Shuttleworth PLLC member, Edward I. Curry, was arrested this morning to help raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Although his time in jail was brief, he is continuing to raise money towards:

  • Funding treatments and cures;
  • Providing life-enhancing programs like state-of-the-art clinics and support groups; and
  • Sending kids with muscle disease to MDA summer camp, where they’ll enjoy “the best week of the year,” having fun while gaining confidence and independence.
