Belleville & Area Ambassador

Take some time to meet Lucy Huble, this year's Belleville & Area Walk Ambassador.

Lucy became involved with the first Belleville & Area Walk for Muscular Dystrophy that took place last year. She wanted to show her support to others in the community who also had a neuromuscular disorder and decided to join the Volunteer Planning Committee.




The Belleville & Area Walk for Muscular Dystrophy is really a family affair for Lucy. Lucy and her family walk not only for her, but for her daughter, mother and uncle as well. The family is eager on event day, coming out bright and early to help with any volunteer tasks they can.

Lucy’s outgoing and friendly personality makes it easy for her to spread the word about the event. She actively promotes the Belleville & Area Walk for Muscular Dystrophy to her colleagues, friends and even the local firefighters.

The Walk for Muscular Dystrophy “opens up a lot of people’s eyes how we struggle with our bodies on a day to day basis. Some people can look at me and see that I have trouble getting around and others can’t.” The Walk is a great way “to keep my own muscles moving” and is “an inspiring day”. It also gives Lucy’s family a lot of support and an opportunity to meet other families within the community.

Thank you to Lucy for being this year’s Belleville & Area Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Ambassador!

Together, we will make muscles move! To join or donate to the Belleville & Area Walk visit www.muscle.ca/walk and select Belleville.
