There are 10 people nominated by friends, neighbors or someone who's life was forever changed by one of these special people and then the public casts their votes on who they feel should win.
It is a 2 tier process to determine who will be the finalists for the grand prize. First the top 10 nominees are listed along with a brief description of what they have done to be a part of this special group of people. And through public voting the top 3 are then chosen.
Once they are reviled the public again can chose between them to find the grand prize winner.
Your probably wondering why I am posting this and yes it's a good reason.
A person I consider a special friend, whom I call my brother because our work is similar and brought us together, is nominated.
His name is Jamie Jones. He began the Missing You Foundation which is a proactive group of people who not only list missing people but actively search for them all over Michigan.
Jamie has worked non stop to help bring other's loved ones home, despite paying for everything himself to the point of eating PB&J every night, he never takes a penny from the families. I've known him to go without the things you and I count on like Internet, phones and yes even electric just so he could help others.
His wonderful wife Marsha supports him 100% and helps him with his work as well. She keeps his spirit up when investigations aren't going well. She celebrates with him when he finds the person he was looking for alive. She cries with him when they are found deceased.
Jamie takes every case personally, like many of us in the Missing/Abducted community. His selfless acts inspire many around him to also try and help in anyway they can.
