The Walk to Defeat Duchenne unites families from coast to coast to raise awareness and funds for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Jesse’s Journey was born through love, determination, and walking for a cure. In 1995, John Davidson set out on an incredible mission to push his 15-year-old son, Jesse, across Ontario in his wheelchair. Three years later, John found himself on the road again – this time alone, walking for 286 days across Canada.
These grueling challenges helped raise millions of dollars for Duchenne research and vital awareness in communities across Canada.
Today, families across the country are encouraged to choose a distance and location in their community and walk to raise funds for this fatal disease.
