Meet Jacob Norvell, one of our North Texas Honored Heroes!  Jacob was diagnosed in May-2006 at the age of 4 with ALL.  The first nine months of Jacob's treatment were very intense, including weekly spinal taps and several blood transfusions.  Jake went into remission within a few weeks of chemo, and he is still doing very well.  He is currently undergoing "maintenance" chemo, meaning he takes most of his chemo medicine from home, and only has to visit the doctor's office once a month and have spinal taps once every 3 months.  Jacob faced this challenge with a huge heart, and he is the strongest kid I have ever met.  His slogan is "Small but Mighty" and that phrase fits him to a "T!" (Written by Jacob's mom--and TNT participant--Rebecca Norvell)
