JT’s Story

You are helping kids like JT reimagine what is possible after a life-changing accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. The former football star has discovered a new passion in painting, holding the paint brush with his mouth. He is just one example of when you start thinking beyond what you can’t do anymore, and discover what is possible.

Scarlett’s Story

You are helping families like the Halls find hope and a path forward after life-changing medical events. After a tragic near-drowning accident left 10-year-old Scarlett Hall in a coma, her family was given a devastating prognosis and a long list of things doctors believed she would never do again. At Ranken Jordan, Scarlett was met not with limitations, but with goals, encouragement and a team that believed in her potential.
