Jesse's Journey

Jesse's Journey is Canada's leading charity in the fight to defeat Duchenne muscular dystrophy – the most common fatal genetic disease diagnosed in childhood.

For the past 26 years, Jesse's Journey has empowered patients, families, and caregivers living with Duchenne through education and resources, provided a collective voice to advocate for access to treatments in Canada, and has become the country's largest funder of Duchenne research investing more than $14.8M in projects around the world.

Jesse’s Journey began supporting Dr. Ronald Cohn and his lab at SickKids with an inaugural gift of $300,000 in 2016. Since then, the charity has funded $600,000 with a recent grant of $300,000 in 2021 toward the groundbreaking gene editing research that brings hope to thousands of families living with Duchenne.
