Donor support makes a difference

Icon of a megaphone.

When Sally and Cy Elston were approached by their longtime friend, Lloyd Lawrence, about supporting Muscular Dystrophy Canada, they rose to the challenge. Initially supporting a Dragon Boat Race fundraiser in Barrie, Ontario, their support has evolved over many years.

Now, Sally has continued the tradition they began together through her generous gifts to Muscular Dystrophy Canada. When asked why, Sally is clear. “It’s about people”, she says. “And the joy of knowing you are doing something for others”. While Cy passed away 15 years ago, Sally has remained steadfast in prioritizing philanthropic opportunities, “where (she) can do the most good for lovely people”.

Support from donors, like Sally, helps to eliminate the barriers that keep the neuromuscular community from reaching their full potential. Thank you for supporting our life-changing work. Every dollar matters and every donation is powerful!

“Early diagnosis and effective treatment are critical to achieving the best possible outcomes for babies born with this neuromuscular condition...”
