Welcome to The jake tallon 47strong Foundation

Jake was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor, known as a high-grade astrocytoma with piloid features (HGAP), on October 15, 2021, at just eleven years old. He fought bravely for three and a half years, inspiring thousands around the world through the #47Strong hashtag campaign. 

Jake was a kind and gentle soul who loved his family, friends, and his dogs. He had a passion for soccer and continued to play throughout his treatment. He fought hard, never complaining, never feeling sorry for himself. He kept smiling through the toughest days and never gave up, but ultimately lost his battle on March 1, 2025.

This foundation was created to honor Jake’s legacy and to give back to the programs that meant so much to him and to our family.
