Hi my name's Rick Ball, ambassador for March of Dimes Canada.
When I lost my leg over 25 years ago, I knew I could never give up
and that's what drove me to become a world record holder in the marathon,
to represent Canada at the ParaPanAmerican Games,
and to try out my new goal of becoming a triathlete in the Paralympics.
When the "Marching Mothers" started their door to door campaign over 60 years ago
to help raise money for a polio vaccine, they also knew they could never give up.
Thanks to their efforts, today's children will never know the devastation of polio.
Today volunteers across Ontario continue the tradition and go door to door to help raise money
for March of Dimes' much needed programs and services
for children and adults with disabilities, who never give up.
Please consider joining our team of volunteers, canvas your neighbours, or join our online campaign.
You will change lives.
