Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/02/2011 -- Primarily through the power of social media sites like Facebook and emails to friends and family, Dallas web design and internet marketing firm http://www.masterlink.com, Masterlink Interactive, was able to reach their goal of raising $1,000 for the DFW MDA Muscle Walk which takes place March 5 at Cowboys Stadium. Masterlink will walk as a team, including friends and family, to support the funding for research and services for people with any of more than 40 muscle-damaging diseases.

"I'm excited that we reached our goal of $1,000 for the MDA walk. It was very convenient in that we had our own page which constantly tracked our progress and MDA even provided social callouts that made it easy to promote via Masterlink Facebook http://www.facebook.com/iMasterlink, Twitter http://twitter.com/iMasterlink and other social media sites which is where most of our promoting was done. Certainly could not have done it without our customers, friends and family so a big thank you goes to all who donated," commented Stuart Frazier, Operations Manager at Masterlink.
