Help John raise money

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

My Story…

My son Franco has dystonia. Like any parent, we suffer immensely when we see him in pain and we have little recourse to alleviate it. Our hope is that one day, with all your help, we will find a cure for 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
