Dystonia Medical Research Foundation Canada

On Saturday, October 18, 2025, members of the Greater Toronto Area Dystonia Support Group will take part in the 5K Charity Challenge to raise awareness and funds for dystonia.

 Why Participate

This is more than just a run—it’s a moment of national visibility. With over 30,000 participants and 150,000 spectators, the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon is one of the country’s largest public sporting events. 

What Your Support Helps Achieve

Funds raised will support:

• Critical research, including the Clinical and Research Fellowship at SickKids
• National support programs that provide care, connection, and advocacy for people living with dystonia
