Warrants were issued and police dispatched. A small crowd gathered as the paddy wagons arrived on November 16 to lead them away. The two were processed, shackled, photographed and jailed. Smiling ear-to-ear and proudly wearing the standard-issue black/white striped uniforms were our very own Sharon Stanfill and Sarina Rodriguez (Cornerstone - Brea, California). The MDA "Lock-Up" was in full swing and the real work of raising "bail" was now at hand. Surpassing their personal goal of $1200, they worked together raising $2489 for Muscular Dystrophy, the highest amount among all participants. Proudly rallying to assist with "bail", Cornerstone wholeheartedly sponsored, contributed and supported their efforts. Released for "good behavior", Sharon and Sarina are now back at work looking forward to their next "arrest" and opportunity to help their community.

The Muscular Dystrophy Association is a voluntary health agency — a dedicated partnership between scientists and concerned citizens aimed at conquering neuromuscular diseases that affect more than a million Americans. MDA combats neuromuscular diseases through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive medical and community services, and far-reaching professional and public health education.
