Breaking Barriers – Building Bonds
Thanks to generous supporters, like you, Muscular Dystrophy Canada is thrilled to be hosting more than a dozen retreats in 2025. From Caregiver Retreats to Family Retreats and new this year, hybrid retreats there is something for everyone to enjoy this year. Caregiver Retreats offer anyone taking care of someone affected by a neuromuscular disorder a relaxing weekend away, while Family Retreats are open to the entire family to come together to meet other families from their area and enjoy various activities and entertainment. Hybrid Retreats will offer a combination of both, with opportunities for family activities, as well as caregiver-only sessions. For more information, or to complete the online registration form, please visit here.
“At retreats, families encourage and support each other and there is an unspoken bond that melds us all together. Even though there are many diverse circumstances, we know during that weekend we are all equal; all supporting each other and recharging one another’s batteries. There’s joy and laughter from people whose lives are often an uphill battle. As a family with two young men in wheelchairs, we value the reprieve more than most people will ever realize.”
– Jody and Doyle, who attended a recent retreat with their sons, Jon and Ty.
