Dr David Green Awards shines the spotlight on outstanding volunteers

Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) is excited to announce the esteemed 2024 Dr David Green Award winners. In the past year, these amazing groups and individuals showed exceptional commitment to improving the lives of Canadians affected by neuromuscular disorders (NMD).

Volunteers have a huge impact on the entire neuromuscular community. Each year, volunteers from all areas of Canada with varying skills, jobs, talents and interests make MDC’s initiatives possible. They share their knowledge and creative ideas, give their time, contribute their experiences, and build positive connections within communities to advance advocacy efforts, push research forward, and deliver essential programs and services.

MDC is extremely grateful to these extraordinary people who are essential in breaking down barriers for the neuromuscular community.
