The PEAK is now an Emmy Award Winning Show!
The PEAK took home an Emmy® for “Laughing at My Nightmare” at the 2013 Mid-Atlantic Emmy® Awards in Philadelphia in the Human Interest Program Feature. The award went to Ashley Russo, Creator and Executive Producer of The PEAK, Ken Szydlow, Executive Producer, Shane Burcaw, Producer and Rocky Urich and Julia Urich of FireRock Productions. “Laughing at My Nightmare” tells the truly inspirational story of Shane Burcaw, a student, who suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy but has chosen to look on the bright side and "laugh" at his nightmare.
“This is such an honor for The PEAK in our first year as a show. We’re trying to tell the in-depth, good-news stories of the Lehigh Valley. We follow people’s journeys through good times and tough times, but we always have a positive spin.” Ashley Russo said of The Peak’s award.
