Five years ago, the Gillian’s Hope Fund was created through DMRF, in support of Multiple Sclerosis research at Dalhousie. This fund, was named in honour of Ms. Gillian Morrow, a vibrant and courageous woman who lived with MS for over 20 years. We were saddened to learn of her passing on June 14th. We will continue to fundraise for the Gillan’s Hope Fund and all donations are welcome.
The iconic, “Man in Motion”, Dr. Rick Hansen joined members of the DMRF team, donors and just a few of our internationally acclaimed neuroscience researchers at an intimate gathering and dinner mid May. An outstanding athlete, activist and storyteller, guests had the opportunity to hear Dr. Hansen speak, while enjoying cutting-edge presentations from neuroscientists Drs. Rafuse and Christie.
You can’t ever give up. In research, or in life, it’s not an option.
