- Huron Yacht Club gives people with muscular dystrophy a day on the water
The Huron Yacht Club hosts an annual event on the first Wednesday of August where volunteers provide boat rides for people with muscular dystrophy. Participants, including Blythe Collins and April Shaw, describe the experience as rare and calming, facilitated by volunteers like Tony Wheaton and Harrison Township firefighters. The tradition began over 50 years ago when the club’s founders took a child with muscular dystrophy on a boat ride.
