The Jordyn Dukelow Memorial Guild (JDM Guild) began in the
summer of 1999.
Friends approached Jordyn’s parents; Chris & Jana Dukelow with the
idea
of starting a guild in Jordyn’s memory. And so we began...
Jordyn lost her battle with brain cancer shortly before her fifth
birthday. When she was three years old, the physicians at Children’s
Hospital and Regional Medical Center diagnosed her with a primitive
neuro-ectodermal tumor (pnet) in the medullablastoma family. A large,
cancerous tumor was found in her brain and had spread to her spine.
Over a two-year period, she courageously endured three craniotomies, a
stem-cell transplant, high-dose chemotherapy, radiation, various and
numerous small surgeries and frequent in-patient visits at Children’s.
There is meaning behind the rainbow logo we chose. When
Jordyn was about 4, and bald as a billiard ball, she said to Mom one
day - "Mommy, when my hair grows back, I'd like it to be rainbow
colored". I would imagine she has the most gorgeous rainbow hair right
now. So, whenever you see a rainbow.......think of Jordyn. We do.
