 Jacob's
Ride
Deaf by age
10, Jacob received a cochlear implant allowing him to be
fully functional in the hearing world. Riding across the
country stopping at all 30 Major League Baseball
stadiums, Jacob hopes to raise $1 million dollars for
others who could benefit from a cochlear implant but
cannot afford one.
GOHF is
thrilled to be one of the beneficiaries of Jacob's Ride,
and are happy to support him in his historic journey!
