  7. Q: How can I fundraise and connect with others while still being safe and apply physical distancing? 
    8. A: Thank you for being safe and respectful. We all have a responsibility to keep each other safe, especially when coming together in person. This includes maintaining physical distancing, practicing good hand hygiene, wearing a mask if required or if you feel it is right for you, staying home when you are sick, staying up to date on your vaccinations and by following government health restrictions in your community. Together, we can protect ourselves and those around us.
  8. Q: Is there a cost to participate in the Walk & Roll for MDC?  
    9. A: No. There is no registration fee to participate. However, due to the rising costs of hosting in-person events, all Walk & Roll participants are asked to raise or self-pledge a minimum of $20. This amount can be paid via cash, debit or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or AMEX).
  9. Q: I have a great idea for Walk & Roll for MDC. How can I share my ideas?

  10. Q: My friends and family gave me cash. What do I do with it? 
    11. A: If you receive cash donations, we recommend that you take all information from the donor and enter it on the donation page at WalkRollMDC.ca as a gift from that donor, using your own credit card or PayPal account. That way, they will get a tax receipt and their donation will be processed automatically. If you have cheques made out to Muscular Dystrophy Canada, list all the cheques plus donor information on a pledge sheet, which can be found in your Participant Centre once you are registered, then send all cheques and pledge sheet to:
