Notre histoire…

The early signs of Dystonia started for me at the age of 9. I would walk on my left toes, keep my left hand closed tight, speech impediment started. It wasn't until a few years later that I was diagnosed with Dystonia. Back in those days very little information was available about Dystonia. It wasn't until grade 10 that I was started using a wheelchair. For the next 5 years I competed in Ontario games for the disabled (weightlifting, Shotput, 100M Race). In 2015, I had DBS surgery (Deep Brain Stimulation)

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
