multiple sclerosis. We can’t do it without you.
We need dedicated participants like yourself, to
help raise money that will find a cure for Canada’s
disease today. Make that extra ask this year and
change the future for people affected by MS.

One of Matthew’s main hopes is that no other child,
teenager or adult will ever have to hear “you have
multiple sclerosis.” Matthew explains, “The reason my
team continues to raise money and awareness is because
we all share the hope of finding a cure, and we use that
hope to motivate us to do as much as we possibly can.”
