Freedom to Move: Run, Walk, and Wheel for Dystonia in June 2025
Every June Canadians from coast-to-coast unite to raise awareness and critical funds for dystonia. To date, Freedom to Move has raised over $1 million to fund research, support programs, and advocacy efforts for people living with dystonia. We invite you to join us in a celebration of strength, community, and determination to make a positive impact for those living with dystonia. You can complete a walk, run, or wheel either virtually in your own community or join us in-person.
