I'm not sure how successful this will be but let's try it. This is your chance to EMBARRASS me for the month of April! If you make a donation to my Muscular Dystrophy Canada, Halifax Chapter page I will do WHATEVER you tell me to. It's time to get creative! Shave my head bald, get rid of the beard, take a picture with make up on, do an embarrassing tiktok etc. Start thinking of ideas π

Here's why this organization is important to me
This organization is very near and dear to my heart because it affects me and many others like me. Duchenne is the type that I live with and it's classified as a rare disease but it's not rare to me because I know many wonderful people living with it.
I was diagnosed at age 4. I did things a little slower physically then other kids. I received my first manual wheelchair when I was about 8 when walking started to become increasingly difficult. My first power wheelchair came 2 years later when using my arms became more difficult.
When I was 20 I needed a trache and feeding tube as swallowing became harder and today I use a ventilator 24/7 as my lungs are weaker.
I still lead a busy, productive, happy life. A big part of my happiness is due to the equipment provided by organizations such as Muscular Dystrophy. They provide things such as hoists, wheelchairs, ventilators and accessible all of which I use to have quality of life.
Hey guys I'm Cody! I'm 37, from Dartmouth and live with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I was diagnosed at age 4 because my parents noticed I had a lot of trouble
