#jumpfordystonia2020
We present Jump for Dystonia with a new twist. This is a relaunch of the successful dystonia awareness campaign that took place in 2015 involving thousands of people worldwide. The first edition of Jump for Dystonia focused on making dystonia better known and more heard of. People from all continents submitted all together more than 10 000 Jump photos.
This September we will ask our followers to celebrate the freedom of movement with a jump to raise awareness of dystonia.
There are many types of dystonias and that’s why we want to suggest several styles of jumpers. Also, not everyone has the posibility of jumping. These types will allow the involvement of people with limited mobility.
We will ask our followers: What kind of JUMPER are you? Penguin, star, freestyle, splash, grounded? If you do not know what kind of jumper you are we have developed a quiz where you can find out. https://jumpfordystonia.typeform.com/to/MiRZRJnW
