  • Jack, you dont know how much you move people in a diffrent direction on how they think of cancer. to think that a cute little boy like you has cancer makes us think of all the other little boys and girls trying to over-come this struggle with you. you are not alone. my grandpa died of cancer so i know what your family must be going through. i hope you over-come this horrible thing you have been so strong to fight. you can make it! just remember that you are loved. WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW!

    I'm with Juan Pablo...I just got back from OHIO and your mom brought me to tears. Juan Pablo and I met last year in D.C., and I know one day you'll join us and we will both hug you.

How sad and selfish was I to think that my cross was a big one to bear? I watched your video Jack & can only imagine how proud your mommy and daddy must be! One of my little boys is your age & he too plays soccer & baseball & he loves it just like you. Keep fighting buddy! We will think of you each night when we kneel to pray~ What an inspiration you are

  • Jack,

    I have had many people in my life who have been diagnosed with cancer, so your story touches me deeply. I have also rode RAGBRAI, like your dad. This will be my sixth year. I love seeing the LiveStrong team as I ride!

    I have been wearing a LiveStrong bracelet for over 2 years. From this day forward I am wearing this bracelet every day for you. You can beat it and you will beat it. I'll be praying for you every night. Good luck, Jack, and God bless.
