As we near October we come closer each day to Jakes birthday on November 15th. Each birthday becomes a real celebration especially during these uncertain times. Our following has grown since November 2006 when Jake started having physical symptoms from immediate family to over to 100 persons and their families. All of them have been helpful in different ways, from simple words of support to donations of time, food or money. We continue to fight this disease and get close to 2 years of the battle.
Since there are so many more people following our story than there were 2 years ago, I thought it would be helpful for people that do not know Jake personally to take a look back at the last two years. Below are some video clips that I hope will make you understand more and feel closer to Jake.
