Will He Do It?
You Decide...

Below are some endorsements. Some from friends who know me well to my own MS neurologist and many professional contacts I have met through my MS journey.

 

 

        "I have known Dominic Shadbolt for nearly 30 years and he has always impressed me with his drive, focus and resilience. Despite his diagnosis of MS, Dominic has set out to prove that he can consistently volunteer for and achieve great things in the face of adversity, and I have never known him to deviate from a task once he has set his heart on it. He is resolute, determined and clearly relishes complex physical and mental challenges. He has always been very active and has been a steadfast and stalwart supporter of MS charities and research. I have no doubt that he will succeed in this endeavour and, in doing so, he will undoubtedly be a great ambassador and advocate for the global MS community."

         "It is my honour to endorse Dominic Shadbolt, an individual of true character and determination, in his inspiring journey across Canada to raise awareness and funds for multiple sclerosis research.

Having known Dom well for many years, I can say with certainty there are few people so well suited to this challenge. He has lived with MS for over thirty years and faces every obstacle with courage, resilience and an infectious positivity. His personal experience with MS not only strengthens his commitment to the cause, but means there is nobody better aware of the challenges faced by those living with the disease. His desire to make a difference is matched only by his tireless dynamism and meticulous commitment.

Cycling across Canada is no easy task, but if anyone can take on the challenge, it's Dom. His keen eye for planning, physical and mental preparation, and commitment to fundraising and awareness will ensure success.

Beyond his personal qualities, Dom brings a profound sense of purpose. His goal is not just to travel from coast to coast, but to raise support and significant funds to advance research and support services for people with MS. By supporting Dom, we’re supporting more than a bike ride: we’re supporting a movement led by someone who embodies resilience, hope, and spirit. I fully support him in this effort. I urge you to do so too, as your contribution will not only help Dom achieve his goal, but will also enable the broader fight against MS."

         "Dominic is a force of nature for getting the word out to MSers on how to advocate best for their care. One of the best ways? Exercise. Dominic did my training hikes with me for my Denali climb and I’m super excited for him on this cross Canada adventure. Exercise is one of the best add-on DMTs along with your prescribed treatment. Let’s train with Dominic in solidarity!"
