Read More +The Countdown to the big One-Oh
Every year since we started raising money for Camp No Limits, Jordan won’t tell us what she wants for Christmas or her birthday. There are four days between the two big days… So it is a challenge to make both days a big deal when Jordan won’t even tell us what she wants. As in…

I just got back from Jordan’s holiday party at her new school and I am so amazed by how she has transitioned into a new school with so much ease. I’m so impressed with her classmates, the teachers and with Jordan. Everyone has made a situation that could have been really hard into something to…
