REBECCA RUN

The Rebecca Run is Cure SMA Canada's largest fundraiser, annually held at Fairy Lake, Ontario for the past 18 years. This race has raised almost 3 million dollars since it was started by Rebecca Van Fraassen's aunt, Louise Smith in 2002. The funds raised from the Rebecca Run are extremely important to Cure SMA Canada as they are utilized to fund research, support families and fund our very important advocacy campaigns. Cure SMA Canada is very concerned to announce that due to Covid-19, the Rebecca Run is cancelled, but we did make a decision to move it to a national virtual race.

We are very hopeful that we can have participation from all of our families across Canada! We can have a LOT of fun as well as make a difference for Cure SMA Canada! Lets all form teams, register their awesome names, get sponsorship, raise money, race together-separately. There will be great incentive prizes as well as tshirts and medals! Lets do this together everyone, with social distancing, we can have a blast! Your run can be held anytime between July 4 - 25, 2020.

We can have a LOT of fun doing this, help Cure SMA Canada help YOU! Remember to take awesome pictures! Get creative with your team name, colors, photos! Remember there will be awesome prizes, for the most creative, most sponsorship, funniest, biggest team as well as amazing Amazon gift cards for incentive prizes for levels of sponsorship.

A few comments

We at Cure SMA Canada want you to know that although there are some serious health concerns in Canada, we still have our "foot on the gas" in terms of working hard to meet the needs of the SMA community, advocating for individuals, provincially and nationally. We continue to work towards the goals of supporting our Canadian families, and advocating for their needs for treatment. As always, Help for Today and Hope for Tomorrow.

Stay strong everyone, after all, we really aren't alone, we are family and we know we all are experiencing this isolation together.
Joining the webinars will help to bring us together, join the Rebecca Run so we all work towards the same goal and don't forget to send in your request for some smiles in the mail for your family!

A very big thank you goes out to our board members who give their ideas, dedication and efforts into making a difference for all of us affected by SMA in Canada. Thank you to
Aniello Cavallaro (QC), Angela Mosco (AB), Sarah Cheung (BC), Jenna Stewart (ON), and Janik Dionne (NB) from all of us in Canada!

All the best,
Susi Vander Wyk
