Jared is known as The Kid Against Chemo and his story went viral when he walked away from conventional medicine. He beat the odds the doctors gave him 2 years ago this past July. Jared was born into conventional medication when he came into this world with a rare heart defect called hypo plastic left heart syndrome. At 4 months of age Jared needed a heart transplant. Jared and his mom Lisa have spent Jared’s life in and out of hospitals and doctors offices. As he grew up that became normal to him. Jared’s mother Lisa always promised herself when Jared was old enough to make a decision about his health and his well-being she would support him. That time came at age 16 when Jared had extreme stomach pains and was rushed to the emergency room and diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Jared, sick and tired, asked to find another way during the first round of chemo. He and his mother walked away and find another way they did. And they are both hear to speak about it!
