Squad Up Community Day

During the month of September, I had the honour of participating in an event called Squad Up. For those who don’t know, Squad Up is a charity gaming event that allows you to fundraise and raise awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by playing your favourite games. It takes place annually in September as it is World Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month. The event is organized by Jesse’s Journey, Canada’s only charity that is dedicated solely to Duchenne awareness, fundraising and research.

When I was asked to participate in Squad Up it was a no brainer; doing something I love while raising awareness for those living with Duchenne is a win-win in my books! We all had a great time and shared lots of laughs and playful jabs at one another. Unfortunately we didn’t get any wins but we did place 2nd three times!

As of September 27th, Squad Up has raised $20,000 for Duchenne research. It’s not too late to donate! The event runs until the end of September. Not only that, you can donate to Jesse’s Journey at anytime. You can do so here: https://www.jessesjourney.com/donate/. Thank you so much to everyone who participated and supported a great cause!
