Event Description

Hustle for the Muscle is a 5k race and 1 mile fun walk designed to raise awareness for muscular dystrophy and raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). It is in memory of the late Lorden “LJ” Kidon, who was a student of Phoenixville Area High School’s (PAHS) graduating class of 2022. He was part of the Phoenixville Area School District from kindergarten until he tragically lost his battle to Duchenne muscular dystrophy in his freshman year at PAHS.

People living with muscular dystrophy are robbed of the strength that most of us take for granted every day: the strength to walk, talk, laugh, hug, and even breath.

All proceeds benefit the MDA in this region to help the families living with this disease and contribute to finding a cure.  

We are counting on the Phoenixville community at large to come together to support this event in any way possible, whether it be as a runner, walker, volunteer, donator, or sponsor. All participation is encouraged and appreciated.
