This year I am really looking forward to participating in the 2012 Durham Region Walk for Muscular Dystrophy. As a young man living with Becker's Muscular Dystrophy you can understand why this Walk is so very important to me. Since 2010 my friends and family have joined the walk in support of Muscular Dystrophy Canada and their efforts to raise funds that benefit people like me living with Muscular Dystrophy. If you are able to join the Durham Region Walk I encourage you to bring your family, friends and colleagues to enjoy a fun, relaxed community event that raises spirits as well as funds! The Walk for Muscular Dystrophy also includes activities for kids, snacks, refreshments and even prizes.
Early Bird Contest
In 2012 the Walk for Muscular Dystrophy which is a Canada wide event is offering a great incentive to join in on all the fun. This year when you register early at muscle.ca/walk you will have the chance at winning free airfare for 2 from Air Canada to travel anywhere they fly in North America including the Caribbean.
Join the Team
One very unique way you can get involved in the Walk for Muscular Dystrophy is by creating your own Team. Its a great way to get people excited about the event and more importantly it goes a long way in helping to raise awareness in our community.
Teams are made up of friends and family, work colleagues, schoolmates, or a combination, motivate, inspire and challenge one another to achieve a common goal - making a difference in the fight against neuromuscular disorders.
This year Muscular Dystrophy Canada is providing you with
to help inspire your Team.
When we join together we can make a difference.
Community involvement
Each year local businesses who sponsor the Durham Region Walk for Muscular Dystrophy play a vital role in making the Walk a success. As a member of the planning committee I know that the support from the local community is very important.
I encourage local business owners and residents to consider joining us on May 27th 2012.
