The recent and tragic loss of Jacob Madison Beck Jaffurs has inspired a group of runners to dedicate their time and energy to Jacob's legacy. We are running the varying distances of the Auckland marathon to raise awareness & funding for the Jacob Beck Jaffurs Memorial Scholarship in conjunction with the charity Jake co-founded; Professional Pathways.
Those touched by his life, or inspired by his vision are invited to donate to the Jacob Beck Jaffurs Memorial Scholarship to help high school students reach for their potential, by listening, supporting, clarifying the unknown and catalysing action. Our goal at Professional Pathways is letting ambitious young people know that desire, drive and determination – not where you come from – determines where you will go.
