Thank you for your support of Freedom to Move: Run, Walk and Wheel for Dystonia. Below are some tips to keep you safe during your participation in this virtual event.
- 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 for 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.
- Once back, wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds. Then do your usual post-exercise routine.
