Our founder Virna’s story

Virna lost her beloved son Jordan to cancer in 2016. He was 19 years-old when he passed away after a year long battle with a rare and aggressive type of sarcoma. 

 

His dying wish was to support families who experience the same issues he and his loved ones faced, in the hope that they would not feel alone in their suffering. 

 

Jordan’s Retreat has now been born.

A promise to fulfil Jordan’s dying wish

Our goal is to make Jordan’s Retreat a welcoming, nurturing space – a place where all are valued, heard and met with understanding and empathy.

 

The idea for the retreat comes from Virna, who has first-hand experience of the devastating effects that serious illness has on families, as well as what is required during these challenging and often overwhelming times.
