Are you familiar with the disease muscular dystrophy? A quarter of a million kids and adults live with muscular dystrophy making it likely you know someone who has it. If you are a corporation or individual who wants to help those suffering from life challenging diseases, we are here to help you do so and get familiar with Muscular Dystrophy. Read below to learn about Muscular Dystrophy and how you can help those in need overcome this disease.
What is Muscular Dystrophy?
Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder. The Disorder weakens muscles, making it challenging to move the body because the genetic disorder prevents the creation of proteins for healthy muscles to develop in the body. MD is not contagious and those with the disease are born with it.
Life expectancy for those affected by MD varies on how much muscles are weakened, especially when it comes to heart and lung functions.
How Do Doctors Diagnose MD?
Doctors diagnose MD through a physical examination and reviewing the medical history of an individual (a background check of a person’s family health and personal health). These tasks will help doctors discover the type of MD a person has and rule out other diseases that could affect muscles and nerves. Occasionally a muscle biopsy, where the doctor removes some muscle tissue to examine, is necessary.
How Is MD Treated?
MD has no cure but doctors and scientists are doing their best to find a cure by fixing defective genes so that the genes will make the correct proteins for the healthy development of muscles. The other potential cure is to make chemicals that could act like proteins in the body.
Teens with MD can do exercises and physical therapy to avoid stiffening of muscles surrounding joints. This will make moving less challenging and reduce painful positions.
How Can I get involved?
You can help find a cure for MD by playing some laser tag games at ShadowLand Laser Adventures! In celebration of Muscular Dystrophy Awareness week, on Tuesday February 7th , ShadowLand Laser Adventures in all five of ShadowLand locations( Centers are located in Columbia(MD),Frederick(MD), Gaithersburg(MD), Chantilly(VA) and Springfield(VA)) is donating $2 for each $7.75 game to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Have fun and help find a cure to Muscular Dystrophy.
If you have any questions or want to leave it to the professionals to add some fun for you and the kids, contact the ShadowLand Adventures nearest you by clicking here today!

Are you looking for ways to build a winning team at your company? If yes, we are here to help by providing three tips on building a winning team. Read below to get started.
The Difference Between A Team And A Group
Before you build a winning team, you need to know the difference between a team and a group. A team is interdependent (depend on one another for information, services and product to achieve a goal) and share leadership roles. A group has one leader, usually a manager or supervisor, who gives everyone specific duties to accomplish for the group. Groups have an overall effort to meet a goal but they are never teams. A group can never set the same expectation as a team because of this difference.
The following tips will help you build a successful team:
Lay Out Your Foundation Before You Build A Team
Successful teams take the time out to lay a rock-solid foundation that forms a common framework everyone should follow. To build a winning team you need team infrastructure and team dynamics. Get answers to the following questions:
ØWhat is the purpose of the team?
Ø What is the purpose of the function in relation to your company’s business goals?
Ø What is the team goal?
Make Sure Your Team Knows the Four Stages of Development
The four stages of development are forming, storming, norming and performing. Teach your team about turnover and change that varies based on progress and digress. Ask your team what stage of development do they feel they will be from the start and what needs to be done to reach higher stages of development.
Know Your Team Pulse
You can discover the pulse of your team by conducting a survey on what the team believes is important for team function and interactions. Topics that should be on the survey are the following:
Ø Commitment
Ø Trust
Ø Communication
Ø Conflict Resolution
Be sure you also promote frank discussion during team building about what is working and what is not working.
Here at ShadowLand Adventures we organize and provide a fun environment for team building activities. We develop specific measurable activities that allow Human Resources to observe teams and provide beneficial feedback. Learn about our business team outing offers by clicking here!

The New Year is approaching. This is the perfect time to prepare team-building activities for your company. We are here to help by providing you excellent methods to successfully prepare team-building activities. Read below to get started.
When planning to prepare corporate team building activities, you need to identify potential problems and failings. You also need to acknowledge what are your company’s teamwork successes. This will help you collect crucial information about your company’s business performance and how to improve that business performance.
Here are a few things you will need to get started:
Ø Questionnaire
Ø Cooperation of Management and Non-Management Employees
Ø Time to prepare your team building activities
Ø Time to plan a follow-up and evaluation
Ø Hire a professional to prepare your corporate team building activities
The Questionnaire
To make a successful team building campaign, you should prepare a questionnaire for management and non-management employees. This questionnaire should address concerns and how to improve the work environment. Make sure there is a section on the questionnaire that will ask them how the company can improve policies and procedures to form a better work environment.
All who participate in the questionnaire should keep responses concise. Responses should order from the most important to the least important. Make sure the questionnaire is setup to be anonymous. This will allow everyone to give honest opinions about what needs improvement.
Create a budget
Plan a budget for team building activities that take account for all fiscal responsibilities that will be owed to employees and shareholders. Make sure events are on budget and productive. Corporate team build is not about adding additional problems to a company but solving them.
Hire a professional
Do your research to pick the right professional to organize your corporate team building activities. You want an experienced professional that will address problems and provide solutions through identifying goals from your questionnaire.
Here at ShadowLand Adventures we organize and provide a fun environment for team building activities. We develop specific measurable activities that allow Human Resources to observe teams and provide beneficial feedback. Learn about our business team outing offers by clicking here!

Need your work team to be more effective? Do not worry; you are not alone! Every workplace has the team building discussion! However, few workplaces understand how to create an experience where teamwork can develop a highly effective work team.
When you belong to a team, you want to feel part of the team so that you can complete task lager than yourself and personal well being. To establish a strong work team, the team as a whole and each member must understand the mission or objectives of your company.
Although everyone has specific job functions and belong to specific job departments, the bigger picture can be accomplished successfully and effectively. One huge mistake leaders make, that make team building activities fail, is never defining the team they want to build. Forming a general teamwork agenda is completely different from building an effective, driven and focused work team. We are here to give you a few great tips on how to make team-building activities successful.
- Make clear expectations. Have an executive leader clearly communicate expectations for the team’s performance and the desired outcomes. Let team members know exactly why the team was created. Are resources of people, time and money being used wisely and effectively? Are priorities of time, discussion, attention and interest made clear by executive leaders? When these tasks are made clear, your company will have clear performance expectations and you can measure your team’s development throughout the team building process.
- Commitment. To form an effective team, you have to make your team members believe in the cause. Do the people on the team really want to participate? Do they feel the team mission is important for the company’s development? Remember for team building to work, team members have to believe in the idea that their service is as valuable to your company as their own careers. Make your team members feel important by recognizing them for their contributions. Find ways for teamwork to develop team members’ skills, as well as the overall work team’s skills.
- Control. Find ways to give your team enough freedom and empowerment to feel enough ownership about the team project to successfully complete the task. But never forget to make clear team member boundaries. Never make a team task seem so competitive that strong teamwork vanishes.
