Jacob Venditti was the fearless advocate, visionary, and the driving force behind the Live Fearlessly Foundation. Living with cystic fibrosis, he turned his own challenges into a powerful platform to uplift and inspire others. Jacob dedicated his life to raising awareness for cystic fibrosis and rare diseases, speaking openly about his journey and encouraging others to live boldly despite their circumstances.

Beyond his advocacy, Jacob embodied the fearless spirit he preached. He was a big wave surfer, skateboarder, and avid golfer who lived for adventure. He was also a proud dog dad to his beloved Banks. Just two months before his passing, Jacob completed the grueling Crossing for CF — an 80-mile paddle from Bimini to South Florida — finishing in first place. His determination and strength made him a true warrior, both in sport and in life.

Through his advocacy, his passions, and his courage, Jacob paved the way for the creation of the Live Fearlessly Foundation. His vision was to help as many people with cystic fibrosis and rare diseases as possible, across the country and around the world.

Though Jacob is no longer with us, his legacy continues to guide everything we do. The foundation is a reflection of his dreams, his courage, and his belief in living fearlessly. We will honor Jacob by carrying forward his mission, expanding his vision, and ensuring his fearless spirit lives on in every life we touch.
