Michelle co-founded CANrise19 to help Canada’s COVID vaccine injured

Michelle was a busy mom, business owner and back country adventurer whose life changed dramatically in the 36 hours following her second COVID shot. After finding little help locally in Canada, she traveled to the US for visits with leading specialists in dysautonomia, MCAS, small fiber neuropathy and more. She recounts some of the treatments she has had -- including IVIg, EBOO, and even brain surgery -- and challenges encountered. She ultimately co-founded CANrise19.com, a non-profit to bring support, awareness and fellowship to other patients in her situation.

Michelle will be testifying at the Allison Inquiry.On September 8, 9, 10 and 11, 2026, the Allison Inquiry will be listening to the testimony of Canadians injured by a Covid-19 vaccine. The Inquiry will be broadcast live from Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The Allison Inquiry represents the first time that Canadian lawmakers will be listening to Canadians about their experiences with the Covid-19 vaccines.
