The CTMA was created to support patients and their families and to increase awareness for rare neuroimmunological disorders across Canada.

The CTMA was created to support and create a networking infrastructure for patients and their families; to provide relevant information about the latest findings in research and treatments; and promote public awareness of the rare neuroimmunologic disorders of the central nervous system. The Canadian Transverse Myelitis Association will assist patients and their families by establishing nationwide support groups and by providing telephone and email services where users can access health information and receive the emotional support they may require. In addition to establishing nation wide support groups, The Canadian Transverse Myelitis Association will organize symposium and/or workshops for transverse myelitis patients and their families, as well as physicians, nurses and care givers, in order to provide the latest information available on treatments, diagnosis, therapies, and emotional support. The Canadian Transverse Myelitis Association will provide educational material to patients with rare neuroimmunological disorders and their families as well as physicians, nurses and care givers.

In 1980, Terry showed us the meaning of courage, compassion, and determination. Today, that example is more important than ever, and our team is inspired to join the more than 5,000 Terry Fox Run teams leading the way this fall. The CTMA is therefire proud to announce our fundraising even to support the Terry Fox Run and their commitment to cancer research. By raising funds for innovative research, our collective effort can help change the lives of Canadians facing cancer.

Terry Fox began a marathon against cancer. Together, let’s finish it.

En 1980, Terry nous a montré ce que signifient le courage, la compassion et la détermination. Aujourd'hui, cet exemple est plus important que jamais, et notre équipe est fière de se joindre aux plus de 5 000 équipes qui participent à la Course Terry Fox cet automne. La CTMA est donc fière d'annoncer son initiative de collecte de fonds pour soutenir la Course Terry Fox et son engagement envers la recherche sur le cancer. En recueillant des fonds pour une recherche innovante, notre effort collectif peut contribuer à changer la vie des Canadiens touchés par le cancer.

Terry Fox a entrepris un marathon contre le cancer. Ensemble, menons-le jusqu'au bout.

🥾 MILES FOR A MISSION — EVERY STEP HAS A PURPOSE

400 kilometres. One backpack. One mission. ❤️

Brianna Sturgeon is taking on a challenge that is, admittedly, as she says, a little insane: She's going to walk approximately 400 km across Ontario to raise awareness and funds for people affected by Transverse Myelitis (TM).

Transverse Myelitis is a rare neurological disorder involving inflammation of the spinal cord. It can cause symptoms including pain, numbness, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, and even paralysis. For some people, the effects can be life-changing.
People Brianna loves have been affected by Transverse Myelitis, and while she won’t share their private medical stories, their experiences have shown her just how much this condition can change a person’s life.

So she decided to do something about it.

🥾 It's called Miles for a Mission.

She will be carrying her gear, camping along the way, facing whatever weather and exhaustion comes with the journey, and putting one foot in front of the other for approximately 400 kilometres.

Her fundraising goal is $4,000 — $1,000 for every 100 km she walks.

100 km → $1,000
200 km → $2,000
300 km → $3,000
400 km → $4,000

❤️ 100% of the funds raised through this fundraiser will go directly to the Canadian Transverse Myelitis Association (CTMA) to support our work for people affected by Transverse Myelitis.

But this isn’t only about raising money.

It’s about raising awareness.

Brianna Sturgeon wants more people to know the name Transverse Myelitis. She wants people living with TM and their families to know they aren’t forgotten, and she wants to help support the work being done toward better understanding, research, and support.

If you would like to help support Brianna's cause and raise funds to uplift those affected with TM, please follow the link below for more information on how you can donate: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/miles-for-a-mission-every-step-has-a-purpose
