Awareness, Education, and Prevention Of Heat Related Injuries.

On June 13, 2018 our world changed forever after losing our most precious gift of a son to a heat related injury. Jordan Martin McNair a healthy student athlete passed tragically after fighting for his life for 13 days after having a heat stroke the first day of football conditioning drills at The University Of Maryland. Our question of how did our 6'5, 300 pound, size 16 shoe wearing son go from a healthy athlete Tuesday morning to a liver transplant recipient in less than 48 hours? And further,If we as completely devoted parents, were totally uneducated about a the signs and symptoms of heat related injuries how many other parents, student athletes , and coaches were as well.? So on June16,2018, 3 days after Jordan's passing we started The Jordan McNair Foundation with an urgency to solve this problem . We made a commitment to turn our pain into purpose by channeling our grief into saving another parent's child from this 100 percent preventable injury. We launched The Jordan McNair Foundation with a mission of Awareness , Education, and Prevention of all Heat Related Injuries . Did you know that something as simple as a Cold Water Tub and an executed Emergency Action Plan would've saved Jordan's and the countless of other student athlete's lives.? We ask you to partner with our foundation to educate, prevent, advocate, and ultimately save the lives of our most precious gifts. We're counting on you to donate today. Thank you.
