Marathon of Freedom in support of Muscualr Dystrophy

Re:  Marathon of Freedom

I am writing to request your assistance with providing support to the Marathon of Freedom, which is a coast-to-coast journey to raise awareness and funding for Muscular Dystrophy Canada by a man named Sonny Davis. Sonny Davis is a young man from Edmonton who has muscular dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair.  On May 30, 2010 Sonny will depart from Victoria, British Columbia in his wheelchair and hopes to reach the Atlantic coast within five months.  Sonny hopes to be in Alberta, in Lake Louise, on June 16.  From there he plans to travel to Banff and Canmore, Calgary, Strathmore, Bassano, Brooks, Medicine Hat and Edmonton.

 As the marathon of freedom continues Sonny’s team will require support in several ways; including gas cards, food, and places to stay along the route.  Specifically, I am asking for your assistance in providing escort vehicles along the number 1 Highway.

 Sonny’s home base can be contacted directly in order to confirm specific information on the route and to make the appropriate arrangements. The email address for his home base is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

 I would appreciate any assistance you could give this matter, including passing this information along to your members.  Please feel free to contact me at with any questions you may have.
