Ashley is the founder of the MRKH Canada (previously Canada’s MRKH Conference) and an MRKH advocate located in Kingston, ON, Canada. For three years, she was the sole organizer of Canada's Annual MRKH Conference, but in 2021, brought together a team of passionate individuals to help her continue and expand her mission. As an advocate, she has spoken to MRKH people and supporters at international MRKH conferences, students at Queen's University and La Salle Secondary School, and publicly at organized fundraisers for Canada’s MRKH Conference gaining media attention from local news stations and newspapers. She has also taken her advocacy to the digital world as an influencer on TikTok, sharing her story with over 38K followers. With a diploma in Journalism and Public Relations & Event Management, Ashley works as a Director of Sales & Marketing by day, but enjoys her side hustles of photography and freelance writing outside of work. When not working or advocating, Ashley loves to play music and spend time with her family.

Sunni Anne Ball is a prominent volunteer in the MRKH community, speaking and providing movement workshops at conferences throughout North America. She has been a fixture at the Boston Children’s Hospital conference for seven consecutive years, as well as the University of Michigan and now virtual conferences around the globe. Sunni has been involved with the conferences held by Canada's MRKH Conference, now  MRKH Canada and is excited to come on board as Vice Chair. Sunni has two Bachelor of Science degrees in Health Promotion and Kinesiology from Dalhousie University. She owns an in home/virtual personal training business and resides north of Toronto. Sunni was diagnosed with MKRH when she was twenty, just after she had won the Wakeboarding World Cup Stop in Russia. Being newly diagnosed with MRKH and on tour as an elite athlete in an extreme sport was an interesting start to the long journey that was coming to grips with MRKH. At thirty-six she finds herself grateful, having moved through acceptance to full out celebration of this unique diagnosis. Writing an inspirational memoir, she is seeking agency and publication.     

Lillian recently discovered MRKH Canada, 32 years after she was first diagnosed with MRKH. Ashley was the first person with  MRKH Lillian spoke to since her diagnosis - and was instantly inspired to support MRKH Canada. Drawing on the strength of her diagnosis, Lillian is ready to share her story and is looking forward to being part of the MRKH Canada Board to support the efforts of the organization - having participated in the 5000 Meters for MRKH and spoken at the annual conference. When not participating in volunteering activities - Lillian is the SVP Retail Operations with Cadillac Fairview and has oversight of the Canadian portfolio of shopping centres. She has been in property management for over 29 years – with over 25 of those years at Cadillac Fairview – working in various roles, beginning in accounting, moving on to leasing and General Manager roles. In 2021 she moved into the VP Office Operations role overseeing Western Canada before moving into the national role in January 2024, relocating from her hometown of Vancouver to Toronto - where she currently resides with her husband Fred and her beloved golden retriever, Daisy. 

Sheila is a Belleville girl and has lived in the area her entire life. Growing up in the 1970s, MRKH was an unheard-of syndrome and the symptoms weren’t talked about because such things were stigmatized by society in those days. With the advent of the Internet and search engines, she discovered she wasn’t alone and the myriad of symptoms she experienced had a name. She became self-educated on the topic of MRKH. It is now part of Sheila’s mission to connect people with MRKH to each other so they can support each other and have access to much needed resources. It’s also her hope to network with women in her own age group with MRKH. Sheila has worked in the CRM/technology support business for over 20 years, lately as a Case Manager. When not working she enjoys the gym, long walks, her pets, and hanging out with her husband and family.
