This holiday season, we’re thinking of Julie’s family.
When Julie’s husband, Michel, was diagnosed with myotonic dystrophy (DM1), their world shifted overnight. Soon after, two of their children — Alexandra and Nicholas — also tested positive.
But too many families across Canada are still waiting months — even years — for genetic testing and the clarity it brings. That’s why your support is so urgently needed.
If you have the capacity to give before December 31, your donation will be matched by D&B Charitable Gift Fund, up to $50,000, doubling your impact*. Your gift today will:
- Expand access to genetic testing so families get answers faster.
- Provide vital support services and community connections.
- Fund life-changing research into treatments and cures.
This holiday season, your generousity helps break down barriers and brings hope to families living with neuromuscular disorders across Canada.
*All donations made before December 31, 2025, 11:59pm will be matched by D&B Charitable Gift Fund, up to $50,000 dollar for dollar.
