Max's Big Ride began in 2015 with a father and son 600 km cargo bike ride from Ottawa to Hamilton. We are still going strong in 2020 and will embark on our 6th ride this June. We have two important goals - to increase awareness about Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and to raise money for research into a cure to save the lives of children with DMD.
100% of donations and all proceeds from our events go to fund research.
NOT SO RARE CAMPAIGN
Coming this Friday!
The launch of our web campaign and petition. We are asking our government for a national plan to help guide diagnosis, treatment and management for rare diseases. Stay tuned and be sure to follow us for more information.
We are proud to partner with the following organizations to deliver this message:
