Jordan Thomas - Vote

In 2005, Jordan Thomas was a 16 year-old prep school student from Chattanooga, on an annual family boating trip in Florida. A terrible accident occurred, and both Jordan's legs were amputated. He underwent years of treatments and was fitted with top-of-the-line prostheses. His family had health insurance and was able to afford other parts of his treatment.

During his rehab, he saw other amputees, children, whose families were unable to afford the quality prosthetics like the ones Jordan had received.

Jordan has started the Jordan Thomas Foundation to raise money to help these children and their families get the treatment they need.
