Canadian doctor Samantha Nutt had big plans for 2020, hoping to raise more than $1-million extra to expand her relief work in war-torn countries.
Dr. Nutt runs a charity called War Child and, to celebrate its 20th anniversary, she’d organized a series of fundraising events, including a gala concert featuring Sting, Lyle Lovett and Sarah McLachlan. The extra money was going to bolster War Child’s award-winning programs, which help about 600,000 people in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been tough. Canadians have suffered through mental-health strain, loss of employment income and uncertainty. Others have been ill, hospitalized and not all have come back from hospital. But the pandemic has been exceptionally hard on people living with chronic and episodic illnesses such as multiple sclerosis (MS), a debilitating disease that can take away so much – mobility, independence, income and a pain-free life.
