In this deeply moving episode of Game Over: c*ncer, we sit down with Josh and Gallite Kestler as they share the emotional highs and heartbreaking lows of their son Jake’s battle with cancer. From the initial diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia to the devastating glioblastoma, the Kestlers opened up about the impossible choices they faced and the strength they found in each other.

They discuss the challenges of navigating the complex world of pediatric cancer treatments, the importance of innovative research, and the legacy they are building in Jake’s honor through their foundation, Trial Blazers. This episode is a powerful testament to love, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of hope.

Join us as we honor Jake’s memory and explore how the Kestlers, along with CKc, are making a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer.
