David Blum, a self-storage consultant and owner of Better Management Systems LLC, has volunteered to be locked up on Oct. 24 to raise funds for the South Florida chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

As an MDA jailbird, Blum will need to raise $3,5000 for his bail, which will benefit the South Florida District Muscular Dystrophy Association.

The MDA Lock-Up fundraising program asks business and community leaders to volunteer to be locked up to raise donations for bail. The events, which occur year-round in various cities nationwide, raise money to support research, a nationwide network of medical clinics, and summer camps for those affected by neuromuscular diseases.

Blum will go to jail at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza in Coral Springs, Fla. Donations for his bail can be made at http://www2.mda.org/goto/davidblum.
