Mission, Vision & More
The sun can seem like an impossible enemy. One who dictates every decision, big or small, because no matter where you go, the sun is (quite literally) everywhere. It could be understandable to let that affect what you do for fun, what you do at school, where you go on vacation, what career you choose, where you live and so much more.
But at Shadow Jumpers we believe there is always a creative solution to finding a way to do the things in the sun you always wanted to try. In fact, we are of the belief that overcoming these unique circumstances around the sun to do something (something everyone else may take for granted) can make that experience feel 100x more rewarding.
And by stacking together multiple “wins” against the sun, we believe a photosensitive child can then begin to look at their condition as more manageable and push out of their comfort zone
