The East Stroudsburg University campus community is rallying behind a student’s effort to raise funding for muscular dystrophy that was inspired by her bond with a nine-year-old boy battling the condition. Alexa Taylor, a junior double majoring in early childhood and elementary education and special education, has partnered with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) to raise $1,200 by selling paper shamrocks through the end of March as part of MDA’s national fundraising campaign. Sold for $1 each, the shamrocks fund research towards finding a cure for muscular dystrophy, a genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass, according to the MDA. A portion of each $1 raised also goes towards helping families pay for medical expenses, Taylor said.
