About this user

Jesses Journey is a Canadian charity that gives hope to those suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and their families. DMD is a life threatening disease which affects boys almost exclusively. The primary focus at Jesses Journey is funding research to find a cure for DMD. Our investment in collaborative research provides the scientific community with the financial support needed to find a cure.

For families who are in a race against time, the need for research is urgent. In Canada, almost three thousand boys (one in 3500) suffer from DMD. Few of these boys will survive beyond their twentieth birthday. For them research is the road to hope.

Jesse Davidson was diagnosed with DMD in 1986 at the age of five. When the Davidson family heard the devastating news it changed their lives forever. That summer the Davidson family came face to face with the crucial lack of research. John Davidson asked himself How far would you go for someone you love?

In 1994 Jesses Journey received charitable status by the Government of Canada. In 1995 John Davidson pushed his son Jesse across Ontario in his wheelchair, traveling more then 3 300 kilometers and raising $1 million to research. Their journey became known to Canadians as Jesses Journey In 1998 John Davidson walked 8 272 kilometers across Canada raising $2 million in donations and created the Jesse Davidson Endowment.

With the over $7 million of donations in the endowment researchers are closer now then ever before in putting an end to an insidious disease that quickly rob parents of their children. There is now an urgent need to help Jesses Journey in its ability to fund research and to give research hope to all those young boys suffering from DMD.
