Video: Two Suffolk firefighters will hike 130 miles in an effort to raise money and awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Suffolk Fire Medic Joe Jarman and Lt. Travis Saunders will leave Neptune’s Park in Virginia Beach on March 23. The duo hopes to arrive at the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond on March 29. The 130-mile trek will kick off the annual Fill-the-Boot fundraiser, where firefighters collect donations for kids and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases. Jarman and Saunders will rest at fire stations along the way. They will also engage with people impacted by neuromuscular disease, as well as other firefighters from across the state joining them in their final “MDA Mile.”
