Another walk year is upon us! Many have already signed up and are out there raising funds for the walk in their area. Where is your local walk? Check out www.muscle.ca/walk to see the local walks, just click on the one closest to you to find out the date, location and to sign up.
But why walk at all? Most who participate in the walks either have Muscular Dystrophy or know someone who does. If you don't, now you do! Meet Ethan Janisse.
Ethan and his family have been involved with the Windsor Walk for Muscular Dystrophy for the past 7 years. It was important to The Janisse family to be involved and raise awareness of neuromuscular disorders within the community as Ethan himself has duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The Janisse family have rallied around the cause to support Ethan. His mother Christine, father Rick, uncle Ray and aunt Tammy are all members of the Windsor Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Volunteer Planning Committee. In addition, they have also become members of the Windsor Chapter, taking on executive roles and helping to organize various fundraising initiatives in support of those living with neuromuscular disorders in their community.
The Windsor Walk for Muscular Dystrophy is an opportunity to raise funds for clients and families who need the support. “The walk raises money for research for a cure as well as funds to assist local clients with equipment needs.” Ethan’s father Rick describes. The event is also an opportunity to raise awareness and for the community to come together and work towards a common goal.
Thank you to Ethan and The Janisse family for being this year’s Windsor Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Ambassadors! Your dedication and continued support is truly appreciated.
Come out to the walk in your area and meet your ambassador! I'll be posting all the other profiles on here in order of when the walks take place. Windsor is our first walk coming up on May1.
