Happy Muscular Dystrophy Month

This Sunday the 24th was my third time attending Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s Walk & Roll event in person and it was so much fun. There is something extraordinarily powerful about being together in the flesh with those who are not only fighting the same fight but meeting allies showing solidarity for our #neuromuscular community.  

Jessica Oddi and I managed to raise $1705 for this year’s fundraiser. These funds help support MDC’s programs, services, and research initiatives, raise awareness, and provide funding for life-changing equipment to enhance the lives of those affected by neuromuscular disorders—a big thank you to everyone who donated or shared via social media. We are forever grateful for the power of community and will continue to advocate and raise awareness for rare diseases. 

I can’t wait for next year’s event 🥰 …team shirts, anyone?
