Firefighters raise money and awareness for MDA in Leland

LELAND, NC (WWAY) — Leland firefighters kicked off their annual Fill the Boot fundraising campaign to help MDA this weekend.

Members of Leland Fire & Rescue hit the street, fanning out in front of the Leland Walmart on New Pointe Blvd. for the drive Saturday. They were out and about from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

It’s all to help MDA find treatments and cures for muscular dystrophy, ALS and other diseases that severely limit strength and mobility.
