Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s “Walk & Roll” events taking place in-person across Canada
For the first time since 2019, Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) will host their annual ‘Walk & Roll for Muscular Dystrophy Canada’ event in person! This year, instead of hosting the event on one specific day nation-wide, Walk & Roll events will take place on different days from May to October at different locations in each province.
Sign up as an individual or with your clinical or research teams to attend one of the in-person events where you will meet patients, families, and other neuromuscular researchers and clinicians, all to raise awareness, funds, and support for the neuromuscular community.
