We were very honored when Mike Rowlett, honorary Vice President of the MDA, approached us last year to write a song for Womack walks for MDA.

Womack Walks for MDA 2012
On February 11th, 2012 Womack walked for MDA once again in the Dallas, Fort Worth Muscular Dystrophy Association's 9th annual "Muscle Walk". Early that morning, some 3,000 family members and friends of MDA patients walked or rolled through the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington to raise money for patient care and research.
This is Our Time
Music and lyrics for this video were written by Magical Garden, a musical collaboration between Kimberly Sudderth and Claus Wissler. The song "This is our Time" was released internationally in January 2011.
"We were very honored when Mike Rowlett, honorary Vice President of the MDA, approached us last year to write a song for Womack walks for MDA" says Claus Wissler, whose musical roots go back to his days with Fools Garden. Fools Garden scored an international top hit with "Lemon Tree" in 1995. "We always dreamt of an opportunity to give back through our music" says Kimberly Sudderth, who was the keyboardist for New Bethlehem, a local Christian rock band. Two former members of New Bethlehem, Christie Kendrick and Keith Hightower, served as studio musicians for "This is our Time". Chris Mansen and David Mueller, two local musicians, also played on "This is our Time".
Camp John Mark 2012
The "Womack walks for MDA" Team is dedicated to funding MDA summer camp for years to come. This specially equipped facility at Camp John Mark provides an opportunity for 100 kids to enjoy a week of swimming, fishing, horseback riding, crafts and campfires.
South Texas Camp
Camp is a dream come true for these boys and girls, a place where they can overcome the limitations of their disease. If you were kind enough to help us this year, or in years past, or if you simply remembered our cause with your thoughts and prayers, we thank you; we simply couldn't help the kids without you.
