CARRIE WILKINSON

Chapter Director

A bit about me. I live on a hobby farm north of Toronto with my husband, John, and our two children. Our daughter was diagnosed with FSHD at the age of six and John was diagnosed shortly after.

Professionally, I work as an Occupational Therapist in neuro rehabilitation. I pour my heart and soul into helping my patients achieve their goals.

I am equally dedicated to build a collective voice for FSHD in our province. Although Ontario encompasses a large geographical area, I know we will come together to support one another, share resources, and actively engage in finding a cure for FSHD.
