My Story…
10 years ago I was diagnosed with generalized dystonia. I have to use mobility devices full time to get around and use a wheelchair the majority of the time. In the last 10 years I have had to deal with the progressive nature of my dystonia, and with the things I am no longer able to do. But I have also learned that I am so much stronger than I ever knew. I am now a para swimmer with Team Canada, a full time student, small business owner and a dystonia thriver!
Description
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that causes muscles in the body to contract or spasm involuntarily. Primary dystonia affects approximately 50,000 Canadians. Watch this short video to learn more.
The mission of the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF) Canada is to advance research for more treatments and ultimately a cure; to promote awareness and education and to support the needs and well being of affected individuals and families. For more information, click here
