🩺 Sloane's Story

On May 26, 2021, the Swanton family's lives changed forever. Their youngest daughter, Sloane, was diagnosed with a 1 in a million brain tumor called a Pediatric Clival Chordoma. There is no treatment protocol for chordoma, especially in children. Sloane underwent 2 brain surgeries, 3 rounds of chemotherapy and was placed on a ventilator twice. The tumor started responding to chemo and Sloane regained her ability to move on her own, to breathe on her own and to even begin acting like a toddler again.

• Tragic Loss: Sloane lost her battle to chordoma on September 14, 2021, at only 18 months old.
• Purpose: Join us in raising money to support Pediatric Chordoma Research through the Sloane Swanton 5K Research Run.
• Impact: Every dollar raised will help us move closer to finding a way to treat pediatric chordoma.
• Legacy: Her fight is our fight now, her legacy is to help other children beat this horrible disease.
