Help Ken raise money

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

My Story…

It's been almost 6 years since Dystonia entered my life. From the start I vowed that I would not let my Dystonia stop me from doing the things I love. Each year I walk in Chuck's Run to honour and support all of those living with Dystonia. I walk to raise awareness and help raise funds to find a cure. Each year when I arrive at High Park I am reminded that I am part of a community. While I won't be able to see my fellow community members this year, I will be thinking about each of you as my wife and I complete our virtual walk.

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
