Freedom to Move Video Contest: Lives in Motion 



Participate in our video contest* by sharing your personal story or highlighting your fundraising journey! Submit a short, impactful video for a chance to win special recognition and prizes.



What’s the Contest About? 

Freedom to Move is more than just a fundraising initiative—it's a movement to raise awareness and bring dystonia to the forefront. This year, we challenge YOU to join the viral movement! Share a video of how you move—whether it's navigating life with dystonia or participating in an activity for the cause. Your video raises awareness and sparks understanding of this condition. Let’s move for dystonia—because everyone deserves the freedom to move.

How to Participate

Who Can Participate?
Everyone is welcome! Whether you have dystonia or are a friend, family member, or ally, we encourage YOU to take part. Note: While this contest is open to all, we encourage you to create your Freedom to Move fundraising page to maximize your impact and help support the cause.


What to Film?
Share a video that highlights how you move—whether it’s your personal story, an activity you enjoy, or your fundraising journey.

If you have dystonia or are sharing a loved one’s experience, please consider including the following:

  • What does life with dystonia look like without support?
  • How has your life changed with treatment and support?
  • Why is supporting dystonia awareness and DMRF Canada so important?

Keep it short—under 1 minute—but make it meaningful!

How to Submit

  • Post your video on social media, use #FreedomToMove, and tag DMRF Canada. 
  • Challenge 3 people to join by tagging them! 


This is your chance to make a real difference! Your story will help raise awareness, inspire others, and show what it’s like to live with dystonia. Whether you’re supporting loved ones or advocating for the newly diagnosed, your video can bring hope and drive critical support for research and programs. 

Incentives and Deadline

The video with the most shares and likes wins an exciting Prize Pack to celebrate their impact! Don’t wait—contest ends June 30! Share your video today and be part of this powerful movement to raise awareness and fund research. Your story could spark real change!
