Leigh Glaus: Co-Founder and Father
Leigh, one of the co-founders of The TACI Foundation, is not only a dedicated father to his son, Jesse, who inspired the establishment of TACI but also a loving husband. With a professional background in IT and Marketing, Leigh skillfully juggles his full-time employment with the responsibilities of being a dad. Nevertheless, his unwavering commitment to the cause remains steadfast, as he tirelessly works to enhance the lives of children affected by CVID. Leigh’s dedication and expertise have played a pivotal role in transforming The TACI Foundation into a source of hope and support for numerous families.
Leigh’s claim to fame is coming up with the phrase “get your ‘A’ into IgG”, which means to get motivated and inspired by immunoglobulin, a type of antibody that helps fight infections. He tries to be clever, but seldom succeeds. He has the typical “Dad” sense of humour.
