Help David raise money

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

My Story…

Tax receipts will be issued and you can donate up until June 30, 2020. As founder of the 14th annual Chuck’s Run for Dystonia 5km Run/walk, I am truly excited about this year’s first ever virtual event. Since founding the event we have raised over $700,000 for Dystonia medical research. Last year the Dystonia community working with corporations, the government and the community raised $45,000. Our overall goal remains the same which is to raise both funds and awareness for this relatively unknown disease. An event such as this can have a significant impact as we continue to educate the community, our friends, and corporations regarding Dystonia. Thank you for your consideration in sponsoring me. Should you have any questions please reach out 416-580-4814.
