The tragic loss of Jacob Beck Jaffurs has inspired individuals touched by Jacob’s life to dedicate themselves to his legacy by running varying distances of the Auckland marathon. The aim is to raise awareness&funding for the Jacob Beck Jaffurs Memorial Scholarship which has been established in recognition of Jacob’s life&his vision for equality of opportunity for young people.

Please give generously as we train harder and faster to complete a very physically and emotionally demanding Auckland marathon to honour Jacob's life and his legacy. The team is made up of those close to Jacob, including his family, his partner and his friends.
