The Rocca Sisters Blog

Our relationships with our friends, family and clients mean the world to us. We were contacted by a client and friend and told the news that her son was recently diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. The news turned her family’s life upside down, like the families of nearly 12,000 other people in Ontario diagnosed with muscular disorders, and we knew we wanted to help her in any way we could to gain support and raise awareness for the cause.

In April, we held an Easter giveaway at FreshCo where we handed out 1000 potted flowers to the community. We had volunteers on hand, including our dear friend, to represent Muscular Dystrophy, collect donations and spread awareness for their up-and-coming Ontario Walk for Muscular Dystrophy.

The Walk for Muscular Dystrophy includes over 55 community events throughout the country, including 15 throughout Ontario. On Sunday, June 10th people will gather together at Bayfront Park in Hamilton in high spirits to work towards the goal of finding a cure. Funds raised from this walk will go not only to vital research, but to providing ongoing support and resources to Canadians living with neuromuscular disorders to make their lives richer and more rewarding.*

We encourage you to come out on June 10th to enjoy the beautiful weather and help make a difference! For more information about the walk or to make a donation, please visit Our Community on our interactive website, www.RoccaSisters.ca .
