My Story…
This month is Freedom to Move: Run, Walk and Wheel for Dystonia and I’ve joined P&G Canada’s Conquering Dystonia team to raise awareness, funds and support for a cause that is near & dear to my heart. My daughter, Alessandra, experiences both Dystonia & Spasticity in her body, but you wouldn’t be able to tell given all the activities that she’s been challenging herself to date.
Our next challenge is a 15K+ bike ride to the Toronto Harbour Lighthouse at Tommy Thompson Park and we would greatly appreciate your moral & financial support. The best part? We will be posting pictures of the event to share so you can be a part of the journey.
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
