SNAP Oakville - 2012 Halton Region Walk for Muscular Dystrophy

snacks and pizza. There was also a prize raffle, silent auction and
Cobbs Bread was at the event as a sponsor. Notable participants include
“Team Ma’am” who had handmade event jerseys and where ready to walk for a
good cause. Muscular Dystrophy is a group of muscle diseases that

Dystrophies are characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness,
defects in muscle proteins, and the death of muscle cells and tissue.
More 80 people in the Halton area are affected by Muscular Dystrophy.
