Mikie is arrested for MDA Feb 11, 2009

On Wednesday, February 11th, Michael Bourret, Executive Director of CCWI was arrested at the Frontier Café, in Brunswick. Bourret was rounded up with several others in a dragnet cast by MDA,
 the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Booked immediately, he was released on good behavior, but only after posting an $800.00 bail.
On-the-street questions to the public about Bourret's arrest elicited responses including "It's about time," and "I hope they throw the book at him." Known throughout the region for his lengthy record, Bourret's convictions include serving the community on a number of levels. In this latest incident he enlisted the help of many others, yet unnamed. Prevailing public opinion is a sense of
relief that he was finally apprehended by MDA, an organization that has reportedly captured more suspects that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police – and they always get their man.

Created in 1950, MDA combats neuromuscular diseases through research, medical and community services, and public education. These efforts wage the fight against a range of hereditary, muscle-destroying disorders. MDA programs are funded almost entirely by private donations.
