Help Barbara raise money

For participating in Freedom to Move: Run, Walk and Wheel for Dystonia 2021

My Story…

I am walking in this event because my life is profoundly affected my Dystonia in my vocal cords. As a minister (and grandma!), it is challenging to communicate with my congregation, friends, and family. Please consider joining me, either with a donation and/or walking "with" me!

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
