JAKE'S STORY
Meet Jake. He is your typical 16 year old who loves to hang with friends, gaming and playing sports. Since he was little, Jake had an enquiring mind and hunger for adventure. Jake has Spina Bifida.
In 2014 and 2015 he received the difficult news from his specialist, that within the next 2-3 years, Jake will face adult life bound by a wheelchair.
In true Jake form, he would also overcome this challenge by turning this shocking news into a positive experience. Jake and Jason agreed that by changing the way they approached the news, they could change the way they experience it. From now on Jake and Jason are committed to living life to the fullest and making the most of Jake's legs whilst they can walk!
Jake wrote down all the things he wants to do whilst he can still walk, and his BIG GOAL is a safari in Africa and visit Victoria Falls.
THE 7th EFFECT / Cocktail & Dreams
Jodie Nevid, co-founder of The 7 Effect, is also a mum of a teenage boy and related wholeheartedly to Jake’s story.
“When Jason told me about the news my heart broke for the whole family, and especially for Jake. I knew we could help him achieve his goals through Cocktails & Dreams.”
Every year in December The 7 Effect host their flagship event, an annual fundraiser which brings together community minded people and businesses who value contribution, goal setting, and celebration!
The event has changed the lives of other South Australians who may not be supported by any form of “organised" funding enabling them to achieve their goals. So Jake was invited to be the 2017 Cocktails &
Dreams beneficiary!
Cocktails & Dreams reminds people of the power of a community, and what's possible when like minded people unite in a mission to make a change.
To help Jake achieve his BIG GOAL of an Ultimate African Safari, The 7 Effect will be treating event guests to a Night in Africa. On 14 December 2017 the Stamford Grand in Glenelg will undergo a transformation becoming a wild, culture filled safari experience to raise much needed funds so Jake can take a walk on the wild side.
THE GOAL: to raise $20,000
To attend the event, please purchase tickets via www.the7effect.mykajabi.com/p/cocktailsanddreams_landing
If you can't attend the event, but would still like to help Jake reach his goal all cash donations are welcomed.
