ABOUT JACKSTRONG
WHY WE DO THIS.
Jack was just 2 ½ years old in May 2013 when he was diagnosed with leukemia—words no family ever expects to hear. Our world stopped as our focus shifted to getting him better. Jack was immediately sent from South Jersey to CHOP, where he spent a month inpatient. The journey was incredibly difficult, filled with chemo, radiation, and ultimately a bone marrow transplant in January 2014. His big brother Michael, then 5 years old, was a 10/10 perfect match, giving Jack the greatest gift imaginable.
Today, Jack is 11 years old and thriving. He’s part of CHOP’s Survivorship Program and loves spending time with family and friends, fishing, playing sports, boogie boarding, and exploring the outdoors. His smile is infectious, reminding us to count our blessings and embrace life’s joys.
Jack is my inspiration—my “why.” He drives my commitment to raising funds for families facing pediatric cancer and supporting research. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for helping make this mission possible.
