Wee Jamie’s Journey

On March 30, 2022, our world fell apart when we heard the words no parent should ever have to hear—our son Jamie, at only just 3 years old, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

DMD is a cruel, degenerative muscle-wasting disease that affects every muscle in the body, including the heart, lungs, and brain. It primarily affects boys, and with no cure, the prognosis is devastating—most children with DMD lose their ability to walk between the ages of 8-10 and face a life expectancy of just their mid-20s.

No parent should have to watch their child’s body deteriorate before their eyes. But we refuse to accept this fate for Jamie. We will never stop fighting to give him the best chance at life.

Since Jamie’s diagnosis, we have been on an unrelenting journey of fundraising to get him the treatment he so desperately needs. Every day, every moment has been a fight—organizing events, reaching out for support, and doing everything in our power to ensure Jamie gets the best possible chance at a longer, healthier life.

For the past two years, we have been travelling for Cell Therapy. Now, we find ourselves in the most promising position yet! We are so lucky and fortunate to be working with BioReset Medical, Dr. Matt Cook, and Dr. Bronwyn Mahtani, receiving Cell Therapy and Exosomes treatment, giving us real hope in slowing down this devastating disease.

This is not a position any parent should be in. This is not something we want to do. We would give anything for a normal, healthy life for our little boy. But this is the reality we face, and this is what we must do to fight for Jamie.

The treatment alone costs $20,000 every three months, not including the immense travel expenses of going between Mexico and Dubai. We have had amazing support throughout this journey which we could not be more grateful for, but the costs are overwhelming and that is why, with heavy hearts, we are asking for help through this go fund me.

Jamie is not just a boy with Duchenne—he is our bright, funny, and loving little warrior. He loves nothing more than playing with his friends, his iPad, and his favorite character, Sonic the Hedgehog. He brings so much joy, love, and laughter into our lives, he really is our best friend and we will move mountains to keep him happy, strong, and thriving for as long as we possibly can.

We cannot do this alone. Every donation, every share, every bit of support brings us closer to saving our son. No matter how small, your kindness and generosity mean the world to us.

From the depths of our hearts, thank you for standing with us in this fight.
