Take Jake

Take Jake Because Jake's Love for People Knew No Boundaries. Join us and continue his journey. Take Jake with you on your adventures and share the pictures here.

How we got started
Jake loved people and loved to travel. A dear friend’s mother was going to Australia, one place Jake wanted to get to but hadn’t, and she suggested that we send a picture of Jake along with her mother. A simple wallet sized photo that would be easy to access and carry along. She took Jake and put a sticker on the back of the photo document-ing he had been to Australia! Then, ano

ther friend went to Italy shortly after that and took Jake but took some wonderful photos that made me smile. This project came about from wonderful friends who were trying to help me through my grief in a way that would make me smile and laugh, just as Jake always did. Now, we have been asking everyone who travels and goes on an adventure to “take Jake” and snap a photo! Board members

Three-year-old Dane was a happy, energetic kid, until his parents noticed that he was catching more colds than usual, and they weren’t going away. Then came the devastating diagnosis: EBV-driven T-cell lymphoma complicated by hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)—a rare, life-threatening disease that causes the immune system to attack the body instead of protecting it.

Since his condition is so rare, few physicians knew how to deal with it. But hope arrived in the form of a specialist in Denver—Dane’s best chance at survival. The catch? His family had to pack up their lives in Montana and move to Colorado immediately, without knowing when they could return home.

That’s when they found Brent’s Place.
