Jacob Mundy

<strong></strong>Jacob Mundy is a nonfiction author, two-time cancer survivor, cancer/mental health advocate, and an Illinois native. Finding comfort through the power of storytelling in his own struggle with adversity at an early age, Jacob knew he wanted it to be a pivotal aspect of his life. Inspired by the life-changing experience, years later Jacob decided to share his own triumphant personal story through his debut memoir "Profound Light." He aspires to bring much-needed hope to those suffering in silence through this nonfiction work. Today, Jacob continues his journey into this adventure through additional nonfiction book projects and hopes to dive into the fiction world one day. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Outside of his creative work, Jacob enjoys life to the fullest, including going to the movie theater and metal concerts frequently, exploring amusement parks, listening to music, interacting with nature, being surrounded by his beloved family and friends, and traveling to other states whenever possible. Moved by the loving unity shown during his cancer journey, Jacob helps bring miracles to current fighters by volunteering for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN). Jacob also participates in a St. Jude Life Study Program, giving back to the very hospital that gave him a second chance in life. His love for storytelling extends beyond his work, making him a passionate advocate and a testament to a life reclaimed from adversity.​​​​​​​<strong></strong>
