Chuck’s Run, Walk and Wheel 5KM for Dystonia is a fun, family-friendly event, hosted at High Park, Toronto on Sunday, June 2, 2019, to raise awareness and funds for dystonia, a neurological movement disorder.  Thanks to the support of the dystonia community, this year's Chuck's Run, Walk and Wheel was another great success!  Click here if you'd still like to make a donation.
