Jasper was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in his childhood, and from then has been on medication to manage it. However, in his late 20s he was told that he needed to have a liver transplant.
“I waited 10 months and then eventually found a perfect match donor and then went through and had a successful liver transplant. I got a second chance at life so have strived to be the best patient, and today I believe that I am. I still take my medication, I can’t do certain things, I need to be careful in certain ways but to have a liver transplant or whatever transplant it is, is to improve your quality of life, not to go backwards,” says Jasper.
One of this incredible human beings ventures is Sealand, which Jasper is the co-owner and creative director of.
