I AM MADELINE
A performer (actress, singer), leader, mentor, & community volunteer with her hands on a number of projects, Madeline(now fully public as Marcia)is a joy to know. She loves gardening & The Sound of Music. Her friends describe her as "effervescent."
She's one of more than 600,000 Canadians living with family of diseases twice as common as Multiple Sclerosis, little doctor education, strong correlation to viral infections, esp COVID-19. She & others face painful deadly deterioration without more government supports.
