Jorgen Yde was a vibrant, athletic, funny young man. He loved running and baseball, fishing and music, his family and friends- - and they loved him. Jorgen was a sophomore at Sioux Falls Lincoln when he died after an intense battle with leukemia.

Jorgen's only request was that the search for a cure to leukemia and all childhood cancers, continue. To honor his request and create a legacy for him his family started the Jorgen Yde Foundation to help fund pediatric cancer research.
