Give kids like Jordan every chance to live better. PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE THE MIRACLES ARE. JORDAN, 14 SPASTIC DIPLEGIA PATIENT ChildrensMiracleNetwork.ca Jordan started his life with a fight when he was born 12 weeks premature, but the fight didn't end there. At age 1, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and at age 7, his diagnosis evolved to spastic diplegia, which means he has an especially high level of tightness and stiffness in his lower body. Community donations raised through Children's Miracle Network ® fund the facility where Jordan receives physiotherapy, so he can not only walk, but enjoy his favourite hobby, running. Children's Miracle Network raises funds and awareness for 170 member hospitals, 14 of which are in Canada. Donations stay local to fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and research. Its various fundraising partners and programs support the nonprofit's mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible. Find out why children's hospitals need community support, find your member hospital and learn how you can Put Your Money Where the Miracles Are, at childrensmiraclenetwork.ca and facebook.com/ ChildrensMiracleNetworkCanada Give Today to your local children's hospital foundation
