"Welcome to Josiah's Journey!

Josiah's Journey is a charitable fundraiser in memory of Josiah Morash who died on July 28th from a rare genetic disorder known asTrisomy 13 or Patau's syndrome.

Proceeds from Josiah's Journey support the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St. Joseph's Hospital in London, Ontario.

As a result of this diagnosis, Josiah was given only a 3% chance of surviving the pregnancy. Beating incredible odds, Josiah grew close to full term and was born alive. Due to the many complications of Trisomy 13, Josiah also died this very same day - his birth day.

Josiah's life was the Greatest Blessing to our family. He brought more love, joy and faith to our lives than we could have ever imagined. Please join us as we continue with Josiah's legacy - a precious little red-headed boy whose spirit was filled with courage. Let us always remember Josiah as we reach out to help other families in need of neonatal intensive care."
