Jake Bailey: An inspirational story of resilience
About
Jake first caused a global sensation in 2015 when his prize-giving speech as Head Boy of Christchurch Boys’ High School went viral. A week before he was due to deliver this speech, Jake was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of cancer known to man and given two weeks to live if left untreated. Jake persevered through this to make his speech from a wheelchair, the video of which went on to touch the hearts of tens of millions and draw praise from around the globe.Since being announced in remission in 2016, Jake has gone on to share his story with over 70,000 people. Through his development of resilience and wellbeing strategies, Jake has educated audiences on how we can most successfully overcome the adversity we all inevitably face in life.
All are welcome for what is sure to be an inspirational evening. After Jake's presentation, we invite you to join us for refreshments in the main foyer.
