Lights…Camera…CURE

Posted by John Campbell on February 5, 2010

On February 5, 2010 the Jett Foundation is rolling out its red carpet for the movie premiere of the documentary “10th Gear Jettride – 3800 Miles to a Cure”. This film follows the 2007 Jettriders on their inspiring and eye opening journey across the country to raise awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). The film features and is narrated by Jordan McSherry, who is the 14 year old sister of 12 year old Jett McSherry. Jett was diagnosed with DMD at the age of 5. Jordan takes the viewers on the journey both by bike; for 3800 miles – and as a sister who is trying to change the outcome of this life-limiting disorder that will ultimately take the life of her younger brother. The film visits with several families and explores the many different dynamics of how a family can be changed by the diagnosis, including insight to Jordan’s own family and reactions to Jett’s diagnosis. It also explores the many challenges faced by young men with DMD paralleled by those youths riding for individuals diagnosed with Duchenne. An amazing too prolonged story that educates and inspires the viewer – both exciting and sad at times, but clearly a tool that will raise worldwide understanding for this devastating neuromuscular disorder and inspire others to challenge themselves to help change the outcome of Duchenne.
