This is the vision that compels us at Muscular Dystrophy Canada to push forward. To continually work to enhance the lives of those affected by neuromuscular disorders by providing ongoing support and resources while relentlessly searching for cures through well-funded research.
Each April we turn the page on our fiscal year, taking a moment to acknowledge accomplishments and look to the future.
I am so grateful to look back on what our donors have made possible.
Successes such as expanding newborn screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) across the country, funding the most innovative and promising research, and continuing to work with our clients to meet their goals, are all reasons to celebrate.
Without your generous support, there would be no celebration, and I cannot say thank you enough.
But this is not an end, it is only the beginning and I am so excited for what this fiscal year will bring.
Which is why I hope you will consider making a gift today.
Every donation is a lifeline to a community of over 50,000 Canadians affected by neuromuscular disorders. This is especially true for youth who are navigating the tumultuous transition from child to adult. To better serve them, we are analyzing gaps and needs, creating tools specifically for youth and developing new partnerships with like-minded organizations.
This is just one example of what donors will make possible this year. Whether building programs for youth, increasing support for time-sensitive research projects or collaborating with clients or families to meet their goals, every dollar matters.
We are committed to bringing a voice to and making a difference for those affected by neuromuscular disorders but we can’t do it without you.
Thank you for being a part of our community. I hope you are as excited about where we are going as I am. Together we will make a difference.
