Welcome
GOING THE DISTANCE
John Davidson is the Guinness Book World Record Holder for the fastest crossing of Canada on foot and the Founder of Jesse’s Journey, which has evolved to become Defeat Duchenne Canada.
Thanks for choosing to have a look at my website. I hope you’ll enjoy what you find here.
Please let me begin with a couple of questions to shift your creative thought process into gear.
Who in your life really inspires you? And is there someone in your life who you would like to inspire?
I think that every person has a story to tell, and inside of people, there are a lot of books waiting to be written.
As a storyteller who has had the pleasure of meeting thousands of people, I believe that everyone has a dream of some kind inside them.
I also believe that you are never too young to have a dream and you are never too old see that dream fulfilled.
As a speaker—I have just one story to tell. It’s a true story that happened to real people.
Lots of speakers have a huge offering of resources designed to make your life better or change your life completely. I don’t have that.
Besides, deep down inside, people probably know it’s up to them to make changes in their lives. And people will only do that when they really want to.
I love speaking to a live audience and sharing the multi-media presentation of the story behind Jesse’s Journey.
If you’re willing, you and I are about to set out on a life altering journey where actions often speak louder than words.
I hope you’ll be swept up in a story and ‘feel’ the road as we cross Canada together on foot!
My hope is that our time together will be the spark of inspiration that lights your flame of desire to make a difference for others.
When it comes to the dream that’s inside you—if you and your group take action to reach your goal, and in some way, make the world a better place—then I will have succeeded.
“Compelling and inspiring… a dedicated father demonstrates how a powerful commitment can make a difference.”
