Walk for Muscular Dystrophy at Kildonan Park

On Saturday, May 4, 2019 Winnipeg will take to the streets making muscles move in the Walk for Muscular Dystrophy at Kildonan Park.
This year, thousands of Canadians will walk, wheel, and roll through villages, towns, and cities to show their support for the more than 50,000 Canadians affected by neuromuscular disorders. Muscular Dystrophy can strike anyone, at any time, from infants to grandparents. Muscular Dystrophy refers to a group of progressive muscle disorders that weaken the muscles that control body movement.
The Walk for Muscular Dystrophy is “an opportunity for the community to fundraise and come together and support those affected by neuromuscular disorders at the local level”, describes Stacey Lintern, Chief Operating Officer for MDC. This family-friendly, fully inclusive event will include activities such as kids crafts, a prize draw, great snacks donated by Safeway and an appearance by the Winnipeg Fire Fighters (UFFW).
Money raised from the event supports client programs including funding equipment, assistive living devices and support services for individuals and families faced with financial hardships, information and advocacy initiatives, and fund research to one day find a cure. Muscular Dystrophy Canada receives almost no government funding and relies on donor dollars.
