NEW YORK – Wednesday, August 21, 2024 – The Muscular Dystrophy Association's (MDA) Quest Media, an innovative adaptive lifestyle platform including a magazine, podcast, blog, and newsletter, launched its fall issue of Quest magazine, and annual Quest Holiday Product Guide today.

“I am excited to share the latest issue of Quest Magazine with in-depth coverage of what matters most to our community including making sure our voices are heard in the upcoming election with resources from the MDA Access the Vote campaign, and a closer look at MDA’s Ambassador program.
