JORDAN'S STORY: A LEGACY OF LOVE AND STRENGTH

Jordan was just 13 when she developed a painful lump on her knee. At first, it was thought to be a sports injury, but as the pain worsened, further tests revealed something far more serious—she had osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer.

​

She faced her diagnosis with incredible bravery, enduring intensive chemotherapy and a complex surgery to replace part of her leg with a titanium prosthetic. Despite her determination and the best efforts of her medical team, the cancer spread to her lungs.

​

In June 2013, doctors discovered over 20 metastatic tumors in her lungs. More surgeries and further chemotherapy followed, but the cancer continued to progress. In February 2014, we received the heartbreaking news that treatment was no longer working. Just a few months later, on April 9, Jordan peacefully gained her angel wings at the age of 16.

​

Through it all, Jordan remained the bright, kind-hearted girl we knew and loved. She had a deep love for music and was always looking out for the other children she met in the hospital, offering them comfort and support despite her own challenges. Her greatest wish was to help other families facing childhood cancer, and in her memory, we created Jordan’s Weeones to do just that.

​

Jordan’s spirit lives on in the work we do, and her legacy is one of love, strength, and compassion. She continues to inspire us every day as we support families on their own difficult journeys.
