KENLEY JANSEN'S WHY

Since joining the Dodgers in 2010, Kenley and Gianni Jansen have become one of the team’s most involved couples in the community. Kenley’s diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AFib) coupled with a medical condition experienced by their child, have given Kenley and Gianni a heightened sense of how and where illness impacts the entire family.

Kenley and Gianni make numerous visits to Los Angeles children’s hospitals each year where they meet with many families who have children battling for their lives. In addition to learning about the physical and emotional toll disease takes on these families, they have also learned about the financial devastation that commonly takes place. It is those stories that led Kenley and Gianni to establish The Kenley Jansen Foundation.
