In this episode of "We're Not Stumped," host Mike Bolland, who was born without a right hand, sits down with Jakob Kepka to discuss his remarkable journey. Jakob's life took a drastic turn after a workplace injury in 1979, leading to years of treatments, including repeated Cortisone shots, and ultimately six knee replacements between 2001 and 2013. Listen in as Jakob shares his story of resilience, overcoming physical challenges, and how he's turned his experiences into a mission of hope and inspiration called the "Hoperaising Expedition".
The Hoperaising Expedition follows Jakob Kepka, a military veteran and amputee, and his dedicated crew as they traverse 900 kilometers from Krakow to Kyiv. Jakob's journey is not only a personal challenge but also a mission to raise awareness about the struggles faced by war amputees in conflict zones like Ukraine. As he pedals through the war- torn terrain, Jakob becomes a beacon of hope for those who have suffered similar injuries, showcasing the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
