The 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association “Show of Strength” on Sunday raised more than $195,000 to help people living with neuromuscular diseases in the St. Louis area.
For nearly 40 years, 5 On Your Side anchor Mike Bush has hosted the event.
Bush was joined this year at Grant’s Farm by 5 On Your Side chief meteorologist Scott Connell and anchors Anne Allred, Kelly Jackson and Rene Knott.
This year also marked the 75th anniversary of the MDA. What started as a national telethon featuring entertainer Jerry Lewis has transformed into a local labor of love.
Muscular dystrophy encompasses a number of neuromuscular diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Guillain-Barré syndrome and spinal muscular atrophy.
