New Westminster’s historic Columbia Theatre was the place for big laughs and an even bigger fundraising total for FSH Muscular Dystrophy research. While donations are still coming in, $7,500 was raised at the comedy night featuring comedians Dino Archie and Carter Hortie. “I am thrilled the event was so successful, especially because we dedicated the night to our friend Ann,” says event organizer Asifa Lalji, who also has FSH Muscular Dystrophy. “This event did more than raise money and awareness for FSHD. It reminded us that anyone with challenges needs two things to help them get through it – support and a sense of humour. Both were overflowing that night!”
