Meet Jacob,
Leukaemia Warrior & Logo Designer
Jacob's life changed forever when, at age four, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia right before Christmas.
The diagnosis came after he experienced severe pain and deteriorating health. His treatment began immediately, involving intensive chemotherapy and a prolonged hospital stay, complicated further by a concurrent COVID-19 infection.
The toll on Jacob and his family was immense, but advancements in cancer research have given him a fighting chance. Jacob is now undergoing maintenance therapy, and his family is dedicated to supporting ongoing research to help other children battling cancer.
Our inspiring 'Lighthouse to Lighthouse' Logo was drawn by Jacob himself. You can visit the website to read Jacob's Full Story.
