Jordan's wish to dance with Diversity

Jordan is 12 years old and comes from Kirkby-In-Ashfield. She is living with Aplastic Aneamia which was diagnosed in February 2011. Jordan has had chemotherapy and had a bone marrow transplant in June 2011.


Since Jordan has been unwell she finds it hard that she can't do as much as she used to like swimming, going out with her friends and due to the risk of infection she has been unable to attend school which is the thing she misses the most. Since her diagnosis one of the things that has kept her spirits up has been the thought of a wish.



Jordan loves the dance group Diversity and has always followed them. Jordan applied to Rays of Sunshine to grant her greatest wish to meet Diversity at their dance studios so that they could teach her some dance moves.

On 14th December 2011, Rays of Sunshine granted Jordan's wish. The charity which grants the wishes of children living with serious and lifelimiting illnesses in the uk, arranged for Jordan, Brother Stanley, Mum Amanda and Stepdad Gavin to travel to London where they were collected and taken to the Hilton Metropole Hotel for their stay during Jordan's Wish! The family had the afternoon free to do as they wished before having dinner at a restaurant of Jordan's choice. The next morning dressed in her new outfit, courtesy of the charity, Jordan and her family were collected by limousine and driven in style to Dancework Studios where Jordan was to meet her Diversity idols! On arrival Jordan was met by


Jordan and Perri from the group who showed her around the studios where they rehearse as well as the costume department where Jordan was given a signed cap worn by one of the boys! Jordan was then joined by the rest of Diversity who took her through some of the dance moves! After an amazing morning Jordan and her family said goodbye but not before being given lots of signed merchandise to take away with her! The family were once again collected by their limousine and taken for lunch at Planet Hollywood before returning home.

Jordan's mum Amanda said; "The wish was fantastic! It was perfect actually. The boys from Diversity were really friendly and they taught Jordan a few moves! The day was great and I really appreciate that Rays of Sunshine took professional photos for us to remember it."
