Thanks to the Garron Foundation, every gift made before July 30 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up
to $50,000 — helping twice as many people with disabilities access life-changing support.

connection after life-changing illness, injury, or disability.

After a devastating stroke, John’s life changed overnight. Once an active person who loved hiking and playing hockey, John suddenly faced physical challenges, unsafe housing, and deep isolation. Through donor-supported programs at March of Dimes Canada, John was connected to exercise and movement programs, an online peer support group, and connected with resources to help him find housing. Today, he encourages others who are navigating their own recovery journey.
March of Dimes Canada has been a great help to me. They gave me
reassurance in such a hectic, scary time and helped connect me with the
right people as I started rebuilding my life.
~John, MODC service user
