Maya's March
— The Walk —
Maya's March on June 3, 2012 is a 5 km walk beginning at 21 Conlins Road at 10 a.m. The Walk will travel along Military Trail to Old Kingston Road, along Lawson Road, through beautiful Colonel Danforth Park, up Old Kingtson Road, then back along Military Trail ending up where we began. Along the route there will be water available, way farers to guide you, and plenty of good friends by your side. The walk will be followed by a BBQ with live band The Phil & John Show, and a silent auction!

— The Proceeds —
Money raised through Maya's March will be split between SickKids Foundation and PCD research. Research into PCD is extremely difficult because there is such a lack of knowledge of it (therefore, many misdiagnoses) and there is such a small population. The PCD Clinic at SickKids is the only one in in the country. Our goal is to raise enough money to advance research into PCD, perhaps setting up a fund to enable families from across the country to be able to access the expertise at SickKids. Last year we raised $14,000. This year our goal is $15,000.
See our support letter from SickKids.
