JMak's cancer journey is not an easy one to walk. Fortunately for him, he's had someone who's been with him each step of the way. In episode 5 we introduce you to JMak's life coach. He's known JMak for 19 years and has supported him with his job, his family, and now his cancer diagnosis. 

JMak has always been inspired by watching others achieve their dreams. In episode 4, we take you to Lima, Peru to tell you the story of Brothers Bakery International. JMak helped establish the business to help others, but he did not realize how much inspiration the bakery and the people who run it would give him in his battle against cancer. 

It was a really hard week for JMak. Multiple hospital visits, another blood infection, and a flooded basement. JMak's best friend was with him through all of it. What happened between them this week brought their 20-year friendship to a place they always wanted but didn't know how to get to. 

A diagnosis like stage IV pancreatic cancer is not only challenging for the person receiving the diagnosis but also impacts the ones who love them. In episode two, we introduce you to Jason's wife Laura who talks about knowing too much, the impact on the kids, the opportunity and inspiration to serve and help others, and her job. Wait until you hear where Laura works. 

I'm a dad, a husband and an avid believer in living a life of purpose. 

I was in Peru volunteering this year when I started to have some pain that I thought might be gallstones. It turns out I had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. It may surprise you, but I feel like I have been given the biggest gift. The gift to learn to live a life that matters. 

I made a commitment to God and to everyone in my life to fight every day. To LIVE every day. To share my journey with you.
