We are into our 2nd day of the 2015 MDA Boot Drive and we thought we would share a video from one of our very own, Taylor Lever McEntire (honorary CFD Firefighter). We embrace this boot drive for MDA each year for many reasons but none are more prevalent than Taylor’s memory and his passion for life. Taylor fought a life-long battle with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 that ended on February 19, 2007.

Taylor was also the spokesperson for MDA and the Fire Fighters. He was MDA’s South Carolina Goodwill Ambassador and spoke at many events to help raise monies for the Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. He was an Easter Seal’s State Representative and helped raise money for the Buck A Cup campaign. He was a recipient of the first annual Taylor McEntire Courage Award, given out annually by the Columbia Fire Department to a graduating Recruit Firefighter.

Taylor was an inspiration to all he met for his love, determination and his attitude toward life. We ask that you help us remember him by making a donation to the MDA Fill the Boot Campaign.
