Knowledge is power, and Jeffrey’s call to enhance the cancer knowledge base is crucial for better understanding and supporting those affected by cancer.
Jeffrey’s journey reminds us that cancer is non-linear. The ups and downs can be challenging, but his resilience shines through in such an amazing way.
I think this talk really shows the importance of having a strong support network.. The impact of caregivers and cheerleaders cannot be underestimated!

Diagnosed with cancer in 2019, Jeffrey shares his journey of beating the odds in surviving primary Plasma Cell Leukemia. His through line is, “Cancer is not a death sentence, even if your doctor says it is.”
His goals are to communicate some of the experiences and hard-earned lessons learned in battling Plasma Cell Leukemia that apply to cancer warriors and anyone whose life has been impacted by that disease.
His talk is informational, educational, and inspirational. It includes his experience with intensive treatment in four hospitals, being told three times his death was imminent, having 24-hour dialysis and more than 30 platelet and over 60 blood transfusions, and his battles with Multi-System Organ Failure, Cardiogenic shock, and Cardiac Arrhythmia. A retired Navy Captain with 30-years of distinguished service, Jeffrey Kendall Sapp serves as a Leadership Consultant, Senior Advisor for Impetas Defense Solutions, and Motivational Speaker.
He is currently leveraging his talent as a Motivational Speaker to increase awareness of Plasma Cell Leukemia and contribute to the cancer knowledge base.
He is extraordinarily gifted, passionate, and versatile and has inspired and empowered thousands with insights and models for self-improvement and higher achievement. The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies credits him as “One of the Nation’s finest charismatic and dynamic hands-on speakers.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

A Few More Viewer Comments About This Motivating Talk
Chemo brain is something we should all be more aware of… I think Jeffrey sharing his journey like this should serve as a wake-up call for people who’ve never experienced it to better understand and support cancer patients.
Jeff is my classmate from USNA. Anyone who views this video will understand why his nickname among us was “Scrapper.” He remains an inspiration to us all.
No surprise here. I’ve witnessed Jeffrey ‘closing with and destroying the enemy through firepower and maneuver’ since the spring of 1975 when he, as a laughably undersized D-lineman (sub 200lbs) who languished on the bench of a 4-7 Navy team, rocketed to All-American status in one season. Jeffrey’s encouraging words re a healthy body may violate TED’s medical guidelines but, they address health and spirit, not medicine and spreadsheets. Thanks, Jeffrey!
