THANKS GIVING Montreal

"On behalf of the Sickle Cell Association of Quebec, it was an honour & a pleasure to have been

chosen as the recipients of last year’s Rip The Runway Montreal Fashion Show Fundraiser. Their

genuine dedication and understanding of this illness, as well as their mission to spread awareness

about this debilitating disease have far exceeded expectations. We appreciate their efforts,

professionalism and artistry! It was a magnificent show. We are proud to call the members of Fashion

For A Cause Montreal friends, and count ourselves blessed.

Simply put, genuine people who genuinely care. "

Delano George, Sickle Cell Anemia Association of Quebec

TRISTAN WILLIAMS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION

MS is an auto immune disease that affects the central nervous system, brain, spinal cord, and the optic

nerves in your eyes. It can cause problems with vision, balance, muscle control, and other basic body

functions. MS happens when the immune system attacks a fatty material called myelin, which wraps

around your nerve fibers to protect them. Without this outer shell, your nerves become damaged, and

the brain can no longer send signals through the body correctly, to help you to move and feel. The first

symptoms often start between ages 20 and 40. MS strikes 133 out of every 100,000 people in Canada.
