As a teenager battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Jacob has experienced more hardship than most people in a lifetime. His positive attitude, humor and perseverance kept him going. This adventurous teen also had a big goal – to be able to ride on the new dirt bike that Make-A-Wish® Oregon granted him. “The wish helped him to think beyond the months of his lying in bed and not feeling well,” said his mom.
Today, thanks to supporters like you, instead of dealing with chemo, Jacob spends his day tackling dirt hills. His family says he uses his bike to inspire others to overcome their own obstacles.
Thank you for supporting wish kids like Jacob and for helping to share the power of a wish® with every eligible child.
