EVENT START TIME COUNTDOWN
MOUNT KILIMANJARO - JULY 2026
In July 2026, leukemia survivor Jake Griffin will climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain at 19,341 feet, to mark 10 years cancer-free and to raise awareness and funding for cancer survivorship.
OUR STORY
The Griffin Leukemia Foundation, Inc. exists to support leukemia patients and survivors during treatment and beyond.
Founded by two-time leukemia survivor and stem cell transplant recipient Jake Griffin, the Foundation was created with a clear understanding that survival is not the finish line. While treatment may end, the physical, emotional, and mental challenges of recovery often continue long after.
Our mission is to provide meaningful support, restore confidence, and help individuals impacted by leukemia rebuild strength and purpose after diagnosis. Through community-driven initiatives, we raise awareness and funding while bringing people together around a shared commitment to hope and action.
We are building a sustainable platform rooted in compassion, community, and long-term impact, because life after leukemia deserves support, opportunity, and belief.
