Jesse's Journey makes largest-ever grant for Duchenne research

MIDDLESEX, ONT. --
London, Ont.-based Jesse's Journey is granting $1.7 million to four research projects on Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
It is the largest annual amount in the organization's 26-year history, and will go toward research into the most common fatal genetic disease diagnosed in childhood.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a progressive, neuromuscular disorder that affects about one in 5,000 boys in Canada.
"Jesse's Journey is a partnership of scientists and families who help fund the research that fundamentally reshapes how boys and men live with Duchenne," said Jesse's Journey Executive Director Perry Esler in a statement.
"We know research is the only way to defeat Duchenne, and we will continue to invest in the most promising science toward prevention, improved treatments, and ultimately a cure.”
