Toronto Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Ambassadors!

MEET THE MCCAINS!

Mark, Mary, Hunter and Darcy McCain became involved with the Toronto Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Planning Committee this year after attending the event for the first time last fall. "We feel very strongly about raising awareness of and support for this horrible disease," Mary explains. Family, friends, and the community immediately responded and rallied around the McCains, making Team Darcy one of the top fundraising teams in all of Ontario in 2010.

Mark and Mary's son, Darcy, was diagnosed with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy at the age of four, a discovery that has brought the McCain family together to share their experience and raise funds to support the Toronto Walk for Muscular Dystrophy, as well as Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Beyond the Toronto event, the McCains are organizing a walkathon at Darcy's school, Kew Beach Public School, to help raise awareness and support even further.

For the McCain family, the Toronto Walk for Muscular Dystrophy is about more than just raising money to support those living with neuromuscular disorders, it is also about the community joining together to support each other. "On an emotional level, it is such an incredible feeling to know that we have a team of people who love and care so much for our family. There is no price on that."

Thank you, McCain family, for being this year's Toronto Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Ambassadors!

Together, we will make muscles move!
