Jessica Moyer, Esq

Jessica (Jess) Moyer, Esq., an asthma patient, has volunteered with the American Lung Association for the past five years and has served with passion, dedication and purpose. Jess has built solid community and corporate relationships which have resulted in positive outcomes for the American Lung Association and encourages other volunteers to do the same. She is currently a member of the Leadership Board in the Lehigh Valley, has chaired the Gala multiple times, is a team leader for the Walk and has volunteered at Asthma Camp.

Jess openly discusses her challenges with asthma. She has often said that she will not let it rule her life and is very proactive in managing her illness. By running in marathons and participating in a Tough-Mudder race, she has proven that she manages her asthma, it does not manage her. Jess leads by example and feels that by speaking to others, she can inspire them to live their lives to the fullest. She has volunteered to share her story with national magazines as well as locally. She does not hesitate to speak with a child at a school, present at an event, or speak with a physician or researcher. All are equal in her eyes and all can make a difference in their own communities.

As an innovative leader, Jess thinks outside of the box. She is involved in many activities as a result of her legal profession, but consistently makes her volunteerism at the American Lung Association a priority. Her energy and dedication are beyond compare. The mission of the American Lung Association is foremost in her daily life, and she will do whatever needs to be done in order to accomplish a goal.

According to Diane Leuthardt, Development Director with the American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic, “Jess has an enthusiasm for life and is not only always smiling, but her positive attitude is infectious. She shies away from accolades although she is certainly deserving of them. We believe that she has a future within the American Lung Association and will emerge as a leader among all of the Associations.”
