4143 Visits with MDA Indiana Goodwill Ambassador Tyler
Parsons
Recently
the Crawfordsville Professional Firefighters Local 4143 had the pleasure of
meeting Indiana’s Goodwill Ambassador
Tyler Parsons. Tyler is the 2009 MDA State
Goodwill Ambassador for Indiana. He is the 16 year old
son of Patrick and Deanna Parson of Whiteland, IN.Tyler has three brothers,
Lance, Payton and Caleb. In September of 2006 Tyler was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia. Tyler loves playing soccer,
watching super-hero movies, listening to music, hanging out with friends, and
participating in the youth group at his church. As we could tell by meeting
with Tyler, he is an awesome individual who loves
meeting new people and is always quick to crack a joke. Tyler attends MDA Summer Camp
every year and attends the MDA clinic at MethodistHospital in Indianapolis. Tyler also loves to speak at
events and has spoken at numerous MDA events throughout the state and is
passionate in his mission to spread the word about MDA and its mission to stop
neuromuscular diseases. We would like to thank Tyler and his family for taking
time out of their busy schedule to come and speak to us about the MDA. After
Tyler and his family delivered their message to us, the Crawfordsville Fire
Dept. allowed Tyler and his family to take a ride in Crawfordsville Aerial 1.
Photos can be viewed in our online Photo Gallery (MDA 2009). Thanks again Tyler for the wonderful
message.
