welcome...

Jordan Thompson was a teenager with a love for life and whose spirit and determination touched everyone who met him.

A rising football star, Jordan never let his battle with illness get him down or dampen his enthusiasm and even while suffering himself he continued to support everyone around him. Nobody who met Jordan could fail to have been touched by him – his family, his friends, his nurses, the teenagers and young people who were also undergoing treatment and those who are part of the Teenage Cancer Trust will never forget him.

Even after his tragic death in 2007, Jordan remains gone but never forgotten and now this fund has been set up in his name to do what this 15-year-old promised he would do – make a difference. Proceeds raised by the Toma Fund are donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust facility in Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary.
