Getting in Touch
From Austin to Global efforts, Our Story Travels.
Jamie recently relocated to Brooklyn, NY—and she’s already making waves across the state! While The J.A.M.I.E. Group is proudly based in Austin, our mission knows no borders. Jamie is now sharing her powerful meningitis survival story with medical professionals, students, legislators, amputees, and advocacy groups throughout New York and beyond.
Whether you're in healthcare, education, public policy, or simply part of a community that values prevention—Jamie would love to connect. Her story is one of resilience, advocacy, and purpose.
Back in Texas, her mom Patsy continues to lead impact efforts through The J.A.M.I.E. Group and as the Americas regional lead for C.O.M.O. (Confederation of Meningitis Organisations). She's living proof that a mother’s advocacy can change lives—and save them.
Email us to invite Jamie or Patsy to speak, collaborate, or support your community or organization.

"If Jamie had been vaccinated, this might have never happened. But she has a purpose—and she redefines survivor every day she puts on her prosthetics."
