Jordan's Gift Tragically, and totally without warning, on 12 October 2014, Jordan Kennedy suffered a devastating epileptic seizure, during which he suffered Cardiac Arrest. Unfortunately, he never recovered or regained consciousness and died, five days later, on 18 October 2014 aged just 22.

His family and friends decided the best way to keep his memory alive whilst helping others was to start a Charity in his name and memory - ’Jordan’s Gift’.

The main purpose of the Charity is to honour Jordan’s memory by raising funds to assist young people who are disadvantaged by way of disability or need. The name ‘Jordan’s Gift’ was chosen not only to represent the awards and funds we would distribute as ‘gifts from Jordan’ but also to remember that when Jordan died, he gave the gift of life to many by the donation of his organs. (Jordan had completed an organ donation form and submitted it ‘on line’ when he was fifteen years of age).
