Jacob personifies what it means to "speak up for scleroderma."  You can hear his voice on the steps of the Texas state capitol and in the halls of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.  For several years, Jacob has been active in awareness and advocacy in many ways.  He regularly works with the Foundation's National Office to ensure advocacy connects with chapter events, social media, and fundraisers.  He also does an outstanding job interacting with young adults and bringing people together through social media.  Jacob never misses an advocacy committee meeting, and he's the lead volunteer in the advocacy booth at the National Conference. He may be quiet, but he roars a resounding message to Speak Up for Scleroderma  at every opportunity.   Congratulations, Jacob!
