Help Emily raise money

For participating in Chuck’s Virtual 5KM Run, Walk and Wheel for Dystonia

My Story…

I am running the 5km for Dystonia in honour of my Uncle Chuck, which usually takes place in High Park the first Sunday in June. I will be running with all my Saundercook family and am grateful to my Grammie, Dad and everyone who works hard to keep this event running. Hope you can join us and raise funds and awareness about Dystonia!

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
