Jesse's Journey will be returning to the road with a one -day mini journey called the Compass Walk which will be a key part of' FUNdraising Friday. For the past five years FUNdraising Friday has been a cor- nerstone event on the first Friday in April Thousands of stu- dents in schools across Southwestern Ontario along with their par- ents in businesses and industries will be tak- ing part in fun projects in support of Jesse's Journey. Four teams partici- pating in the Compass Walk will fan out early in the morning April 2 pushing a Duchenne youngster in his wheel- chair. The north team will start their walk back into the heart of London from Clandeboye, just north of Lucan. The west team will begin in Strathroy, the east team in Ingersoll and the south team between St. Thomas and Port Stanley. The teams will each walk 33 -kilometres — duplicating the daily distance covered by John Davidson during his cross -Canada walk. The public is invited to join in the festivities at Covent Garden Market across from the John Labatt Centre between 4 and 7 p.m. Since the father and son team first set out on the road to cross Ontario, the Jesse Davidson Endowment Fund has provided more than $1,000,000.
