Refresh your memory of Jake Bailey with the video below
A week before Jake was due to give his graduation speech, he was told the heart-breaking news that he had Burkitt’s non-Hodgkinson lymphoma, the most aggressive cancer known to man!
Given two weeks to live if untreated Jake was fortunate to win his battle. His story of resilience, overcoming adversity and facing ‘bloody hard times’ is raw, compelling, and much in demand.
Working with corporates, organisations, and schools across the globe, Jake has helped audiences ranging from elite athletes to kids in remote and rural towns, Fortune 500 CEO’s to prison inmates, and foreign governments to retirement villages to understand how we can successfully overcome the challenges and adversity we will all inevitably face in life.
