At 14 yrs. old Jarem lost his leg above the knee to cancer. Since then he has been a Super Hero.
An avid outdoorsman, Jarem grew up hiking, skiing & biking with
his family and friends. When he lost his leg many doctors told him he
would most likely never be able to telemark (free heel) ski again. The
technology and prosthetic equipment just weren't there.
Never accepting the "I can't mind set, Jarem developed the first
prosthetic knee that would provide an athlete the ability to do the
sports he loves. Jarem has become the world's first above knee amputee
who is able to ski backcountry and throw back flips covering a distance
of 60'!! Last year he also competed in the 1st ever eXtremity Games and
won the rock climbing event. Jarem, now in his early 30's, is a man
among men and for these reasons that I have mentioned he is a perfect
candidate as a Hero for your Foundation.
