Jacob Walker’s Cycle200 Fundraiser Challenge

This is Jacob, in August it will have been two years since he was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia) and ever since then Jacob has wanted to do a fundraiser to help the hospitals and charities that helped him during this difficult time, but during his intense chemotherapy he was to weak to do the challenge he had in mind!!!

Now Jacob is in maintenance things are a little easier, but with still 15 months left of chemotherapy, he is resilient but it’s very tough, he still has to endure daily, weekly and monthly Chemotherapy and Lumbar Punctures every 3 months. He takes lots of medication to help with leg and bone pain, blood tests every fortnight and after the monthly chemotherapy he struggles for around a week with side effects, and he also has to take steroids for 5 days after this chemo which gives him hunger cravings and makes his emotions all over the place! A constant feeling of 5 steps forward, 5 steps back!! He goes through all this yet to you he looks well, goes to school, goes out with his mates, wears a big smile on his face, the thoughts, the feelings, the what ifs all hidden from view!!

Our boy is so strong, a true warrior!! So he has set himself a challenge to cycle 200 miles through August with his Mum, Dad and Nana (and whoever else would like to accompany him) this will be massively challenging for him physically, roughly 6.5 miles everyday but he wants to raise as much money possible for the hospitals and charities he holds close to his heart ❤️ to split between them all, to say a big thank you ☺️
