My Story

Thank you for supporting me and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year. By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure. Jacob was diagnosed with ALL at 5 months old. He bravely fought for 18 months which included chemo, Car T and a bone marrow transplant. Jacob relapsed in April 2020. Because of the lack of treatment options, we made the decision to let Jacob live out the rest of his life, 2 weeks, in peace. He joined the angels at midnight on May 7th one month before his 2nd birthday. The sweetest soul to bless this earth and the heavens above. We Love and miss you sweet boy.
