Brooke Jacob's Page

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

If you're visiting my page, you probably already know my story.  But, if you don't-- In January it will be 4 years since I had surgery for my Desmoid Tumor.  January 15th, 2009, I had a 12-15 pound Desmoid Tumor removed from my abdomen, along with my spleen and part of my Diaphragm and Intesines.  At that time, we had no idea what a Desmoid Tumor was.  But, I was incredibly lucky. My surgeons Dr. Julian Kim and Dr.  Jeff Ponsky from University Hospital in Cleveland saved my life and now, 4 years later, I am healthy, strong, and beyond grateful. 

There are so many other Desmoid patients who need help though.  I was lucky beyond belief, but I want to help the patients who haven't been as fortunate as me.  

On October 21st, my team and I will be running for answers and showing our support for all the patients who need answers and treatment.

All my love, 

Brooke

PS, thanks to all the Abbey Road On The River fans helping us to reach our goal.
