New Programs - Great ways to raise much needed funds for science!

The Foundation launched two new fundraising programs, Dogs4Dystonia and
Dystance4Dystonia. Join us as we come together in communities across the
country to raise awareness and much needed funds to support our quest for a
cure.

Dogs4Dystonia is a dog walk for everyone, whether you are a dog owner, a dog
lover, or someone who just wants to do something to support the work of the
DMRF in the dystonia community. Look for two upcoming walks in the Fall in New
Jersey and in Pennsylvania.

Don't see a walk scheduled for your neck of the woods? Contact Lissa at
[12]LSalvatierra@dystonia-foundation.org today to find out how you can host
your own Dogs4Dystonia Dog Walk!
____________________________________________________________

Are you ready to join the DMRF in going the Dystance4Dystonia? This is a great
program and another way to raise dystonia awareness and funding.

Those who take part in the Dystance4Dystonia program can participate in
marathons, 10K, 8K, and 5K runs and walks in several communities across the
country. Did you want to host your own Dystance4Dystonia event? Contact Lissa
at [13]LSalvatierra@dystonia-foundation.org, who can help you plan one for your
community.

Both programs offer family, friends, neighbors and colleagues the opportunity
to show their support for the dystonia community while helping to raise much
needed funds for our programming.
