Jezreel Herr: 1997-2007

It is with our deepest regret that we share with you the following loss of Jezreel Shayna Herr. She passed away on September 14, 2007. At nine-years-old Jezreel became a huge part of the MDA family over three years ago, when she attended her first MDA summer camp.

To us, Jez was a light in our world. We have so many fond memories of Jez and we miss her already. Jez was an uplifting girl that touched the hearts of everyone that met her. She was a friend above all else and her smile will live on with all of us.

At Jez’s first summer camp, the campers were asked to make a wish. She wished that she could be better so she could help others.

Jezreel will continue to live on in our memories and our thoughts. Please join us in extending love and support to her family and keep her memory alive by joining in our fight against Muscular Dystrophy.

We will miss you a tremendous amount, Jez.

  • What is the Live Ride for MDA?

      The Live Ride for MDA is an annual fund raising event put on by MDA with the support of the Alaska Motorcycle Community!

      ALL Participants (riders and passengers) purchase a packet ($50.00) and then raise funds prior to the ride. Each year, the ride leaves from the Anchorage (and now the MatSu Valley), making stops for fuel and snacks along the way.

      Once the huge group of riders (of all motorcycle makes and models) reaches the Central Peninsula Sports Center in Soldotna, the riders will then be treated to festivities at the sports center including a "carnival," Arctic Attack Stunt Demo Team, and much more!

      The riders who raise $800.00 are part of The Parade of Heroes  who participate in a special ride through the Central Peninsula Sports Center itself!

      It is always impressive to watch the huge line of motorcycles file into the Sports Center, all there to help raise money and support for the continuing fight against Muscular Dystrophy!
