Patrick J. Clair participates in MDA Lock-Up

Charged with “having a big heart,” Patrick J. Clair was recently “arrested” in this year’s annual MDA Lock-Up, where he surpassed his goal of raising $1,000 for “Jerry’s Kids.”

Each participant, or jail-bird, is asked to set a goal and raise their “bail money” before their set “court date.” The money raised sends children, ages 6-21, with neuromuscular diseases, to week-long summer camps, purchases new wheelchairs, funds research and hosts other MDA activities.

This year’s “court date” was set for Thursday, August 30th at the Stone Mansion in the North Hills.
