Jordan’s Story

Jordan Morgan is a chef, an athlete, an artist, and a film producer. He loves to swim and play wheelchair basketball – go Wheelcats! – and he can roller skate…using his walker.

There’s almost nothing Jordan can’t do though doctors said he may never be able to feed himself, walk or write his name.

Now a vibrant 14-year-old, Jordan was born 11 weeks premature and was later diagnosed with spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy. He makes time for his many hobbies and interests around daily physical therapy exercises with his mother, Deborah, and weekly appointments at Batson Children’s Hospital. Jordan never meets a stranger that doesn’t feel his contagious happiness and gives everyone plenty of reasons to smile when you’re around him.
