Upcoming Dystance4Dystonia events:



The Dystance4Dystonia program is an exciting series of walks, runs, and marathon teams planned in communities across the country. Funds raised in support of this program benefit the work of the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF).

Dystonia is a disorder that robs people of the ability to control their muscle movements. Everyday tasks such as walking, sitting, reading, and speaking can become difficult and often painful. Dystance4Dystonia invites people who can use their bodies freely to help support those who cannot.

Through pledges and local sponsorships, DMRF volunteers collect funds that directly support the DMRF mission.


If you would like to walk, run, or wheel on behalf of the dystonia community, the DMRF is ready to partner with you. Perhaps there is a local race you wish to enter, or perhaps you would like to organize your own Dystance4Dystonia 5K run or walk. The options are many and we have specially designed planning guides to help you.
