Testimonials

“ Jake, I found your email address on your blog after looking you up online. I saw the commercial you made with National Jewish Health and I just wanted to tell you that it was one of the most moving things I have ever seen on TV. I personally don't suffer with asthma and neither do any of my family, but I honestly feel that the message you deliver in that commercial makes the world a better place for everyone."

"I just finished watching your video…not sure whether I now need a drink to calm the prideful tears, a walk in the mountains to think about and appreciate all that I continue to be able to do at age 72 or a megaphone to shout your praises on Main St and to startle the inactive masses off the benches…to be sure, your story is beyond inspiring."

“Jake's session at our event was a true highlight. His perspective as a skier who has faced the challenges of asthma brought a unique and inspiring perspective which set the tone for the 2 days of our meeting.
His resilience and determination not only gave us the energy we needed for our event, but also deepened our understanding of how people living with asthma can achieve personal ambitions and strive to live life by their own terms.
Thank you, Jake - for sharing your journey and empowering us all. Your talk was not only informative but truly inspirational!”
