Sloane Swanton Research Fund

Sloane's story

How wonderful life is now that you’re in the world

Several years ago, though Sarah and Mat Swanton were blessed with two beautiful daughters, they had a persistent feeling that their family wasn’t complete. In the spring of 2020, that gap was filled: Sloane Elizabeth Swanton came into the world to finish their perfect family of five.

For over a year, all was wonderful in their little world. Sloane’s enormous smile was the focal point of any room, and her giggle filled her family’s days with delight. Her sisters, Cora and Quinn, were her best friends, and Sloane’s face lit up at the sound of their voices. The five Swantons played, snacked, hiked, and cuddled together. Their family was bursting at the seams with love.

Though she be but little, she is fierce

Then, little Sloane was handed a big battle: she was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called chordoma in the base of her skull. She fought fiercely, enduring chemotherapy, surgery, a long hospital stay, and countless appointments and tests.

Through it all, Sloane’s sunny personality shone through, warming the hearts of everyone she encountered. She had the ability to stop someone in their tracks with her little wave, the sparkle in her eyes seemed to melt away others’ worries, and her whole-body laugh was pure joy.

Unfortunately, Sloane’s tumor stopped responding to chemotherapy. The Swanton family lost Sloane to chordoma when she was only 18 months old.

With brave wings, she flies

While Sloane’s time here was too short, she inspired all who met her. And now, through the Sloane Swanton Research Fund, her legacy will live on. Research made possible through donations to this fund will help develop new treatments for pediatric chordoma, so that children, like Sloane, diagnosed with this devastating disease in the future will have better outcomes.

The Swanton family is committed to fighting against the disease that took Sloane from them. The fund they’ve established is a beacon of light that will continue Sloane’s legacy by propelling research to help develop new treatments — and ultimately a cure — for children affected by chordoma.

Part of your registration will go towards the Sloane Swanton Research Fund, but if you would like to donate additional funds, you can do so here. Thank you so much for your generosity!
