Miracle kid Jordin Jackson speaks to living with sickle cell disease, raising money for her children’s hospital, and how to stay positive through pain. Jordin Jackson has a genetic blood disorder called sickle cell, which causes severe and unmanageable pain.
The body makes sickle-shaped red blood cells instead of round cells that gather together and prevent oxygen from getting to the most important parts of her body. Jordin is the 2017 Children’s Miracles Network Hospitals Champion from California.
