Walk Across Canada in a Day – May 7, 2010

Sponsored by:

Thanks to the generosity of businesses like yours, last year's Walk Across Canada in a Day for Jesse's Journey was a huge success! The walk, together with other FUNdraising Friday events, raised over $223,000 to help fund research into a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other genetic diseases.

Hundreds of people, including businesses, schools, friends, families and boys with DMD took part in the walk and when we added all the kilometres walked, we not only walked across Canada – but all the way back too!

Since John Davidson walked across Canada (April 1998 – January 1999), the Jesse Davidson Endowment has been able to fund more than $3 million in research across North America .

We would like to invite you to join us again for Walk Across Canada in a Day , on FUNdraising Friday, May 7, 2010 in London 's Springbank Gardens (formerly Wonderland Gardens ). Your office can participate in any one of the following ways:
