FUNDRAISE
Fundraising will run from the start of the campaign throughout the month of June! Together let's raise $75,000.00 for dystonia research and support programs.
A list of safe training tips:
- Plan your route. Remember you can do this over the period of a whole month, so you can run, walk or wheel just 10 minutes at a time! Try to find a route where there won't be lots of people to dodge.
- Carry ID in case of emergency. With that ID, also have the names and phone numbers of local relatives or friends.
- Dress appropriately for the weather. If you're going outside in low light, be visible and wear bright-coloured or reflective gear.
- Stay hydrated! Drink water before you feel thirsty.
- Try to enjoy yourself in the moment and practice gratitude while you exercise.
