Jacob was joined by dozens of family members, Denver Broncos players, and mascot Miles for the celebration.

His father said the moment marked a turning point for the family.

"He took everything that cancer could throw at him, and we're, uh, we're for now we're on the backside of it and so, so grateful."

The bell symbolizes hope, strength, and a new chapter ahead.
