Whip Pediatric Cancer
Who We are
Whip Pediatric Cancer is a 501 C3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to raise awareness for pediatric cancer and help find a cure by funding research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. We also aim to provide smiles to children and their families while fighting cancer.
The Beginning
It all started with a song, a dance, and an immense passion for curing pediatric cancer. In 2015, I (Jordan Belous) was sitting on the beach listening to the popular song “Watch Me” by Silentó. All summer long, people of all ages were doing the Whip and Nae Nae dance. I knew there had to be something there. Within minutes, everything clicked. I came up with the Whip Pediatric Cancer challenge, where I posted a “whip video” and challenged my friends and family to dance or donate to pediatric cancer research. Within hours, the hashtag #WhipPediatricCancer went viral and transformed the pediatric cancer community forever.
About me - Jordan Belous AKA JJ
Hi! My name is Jordan, but most people call me JJ. I am a proud alumna of the University of Tampa and currently work in medical sales for an exciting start-up company. Despite the whirlwind of everyday life, my heart and soul are devoted to a cause very dear to me – finding a cure for pediatric cancer. My journey as the founder of Whip Pediatric Cancer has been a profound and life-changing experience.
It all began with an unshakable determination to make a positive impact in the lives of children fighting this devastating disease. I firmly believe that no child should have to suffer, and my mission is to bring us one step closer to a world where pediatric cancer is just a memory. In my work with Whip Pediatric Cancer, I strive not only to find a cure but also to create unforgettable moments for these brave young warriors. Memories, friendship, and love are as vital as the medical treatment they receive. Witnessing the joy and hope in their eyes motivates me to push forward even in the face of challenges. Their strength fuels my determination, and I am committed to doing everything in my power to support them on their journey. I will continue to fight with all my heart until the day when no child has to endure the pain of cancer.
I am grateful for every person who stands beside me in this fight, whether it’s through support, donations, or spreading awareness. Your belief in our cause gives me the strength to carry on and inspires others to join us on this meaningful journey.
