I understand and acknowledge that absent of proof of legal responsibility to the contrary this Release discharges JCS from any liability or claim that I may have against JCS with respect to any bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, monetary loss or property damage that may result from my involvement in the Volunteer Services.
