The Walk to Defeat Duchenne raises money for Jesse’s Journey, the only Canadian charity that exists solely to fund Duchenne muscular dystrophy research. Because of the generous donations from our walkers and supporters, Jesse’s Journey has been able to grant over $10 million to fund the most promising research projects worldwide.
Registration: 8:45-9:30 a.m
Walk Begins: 10 a.m
This is an annual event, and is one of the largest fundraisers for Jesse’s Journey. Walkers will complete an 8.25km course through Springbank Park.
