Giving back to Greg and Jordan, who have given so much to others, as they face an unimaginable loss.

Canterbury

Our dear friends Greg and Jordan are facing the unimaginable following the sudden and heartbreaking loss of their one-year-old son, Sonny.

Affectionately known as “Sunshine,” Sonny truly lived up to his name. He brought so much happiness and warmth wherever he went, especially to the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym that was, in many ways, his second home. His beautiful presence touched many lives, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Greg and Jordan are the heart of our Jiu Jitsu community. They are deeply loved and respected, and they are two of the most generous people we know. They would give anything to help someone else, without hesitation or expectation. Now, as their friends and wider community, we want to surround them with the same love and support they have always shown to others.

We have created this page to help ease some of the financial pressure on Greg and Jordan during this devastating time. Donations will allow them the space to grieve and support one another without the added burden of worrying about work, everyday expenses, and the costs that come with such an unexpected loss.

No contribution is too small. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would also mean so much.

All funds raised will go directly to Greg and Jordan. Thank you for helping us support this wonderful family and for holding them and their beautiful Sunshine in your hearts.
