Jon Ironman VanDoran - a photo on Flickriver

August 20, 1981 – September 16, 2015

When I photographed Jon on this day, I didn't realize that it would be the last time I would see him. He passed away from cancer on September 16th, 2015.

His friends and family are keeping his memory alive with the Jon VanDoran "Push the Limits" Memorial Scholarship.

PUSH THE LIMITS ~ Memorial Scholarship

Jon “Ironman” VanDoran was a lover of life who looked for opportunities to help others, challenge himself, and seize any opportunities. Despite his paraplegia from an unfortunate incident at birth, Jon achieved a high degree of satisfaction in life by discovering and creating ways to drive a motorcycle, do martial arts, swim and scuba, play in several bands, kayak, repel, cave, and climb. His goal as he pursued a degree in mechanical engineering was to design adaptive sporting and outdoor adventure equipment for kids and people with disabilities who desire to enjoy life to its fullest. Jon was unable to see his goal to fruition when he passed away in the summer of 2015 with angiosarcoma. It is the mission of this scholarship fund to fulfill Jon’s goal of helping others reach their potential and push their limits.

Therapeutic Adventures, Inc. is honored to be selected as the beneficiary of the Jon VanDoran “Ironman” PUSH THE LIMITS ~ Memorial Scholarship.

Friends, family, and those who have been touched by the legacy of Jon’s life may contribute to this special designated scholarship fund. The Jon VanDoran “Ironman” Push the Limits ~ Memorial Scholarship will support individuals and/or families who have a loved one with differing abilities, providing financial assistance to participate in TA adaptive sports and adaptive outdoor recreation programs.
