Cancer doesn’t care. It doesn’t care about age. It doesn’t care about your family or friends. It doesn’t care about what it takes from us — or who it leaves behind.
In the fall of 2021, we learned our then10-month-old grandson, Jack, had Pediatric cancer! We also learned how tough our daughter, her husband, their daughter, and the entire family can be. What was really amazing was how Jack has fought this dreaded disease and continues to develop into such a wonderful person! Jack is truly our Superhero.
Jack has been cancer free for over a year now. He is 3 years old and a fully active and highly intelligent little boy. Jack is "kidney challenged" because he lost one complete kidney and part of the other due to his cancer. He frequently visits Roswell for monitoring and is under care of a kidney specialist. Jack will be joining me on my ride, trailing along in a trailer, while his parents, sister (6 years) and brother (2 years) join in the day!
The Doctors, Nurses, technicians, aids and volunteers at Childrens Hospital and Roswell Park are truly incredible. There is no end to their caring and compassion. Because his surgeries were so complicated and unique, the Doctors at Roswell sent him to Boston Childrens Hospital where he received the best care anyone could hope for.
That’s why "Grandpa Jack" is participating in the 2024 Ride for Roswell. I want to do my part to raise the funds to keep the research going. With your help we can save another youngster from the scourge of cancer.
Please help "Jack Attack" raise critically needed funds to support the thousands of patients who turn to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center for hope each year. Your donation provides funding researchers need right now to investigate new treatment options that could save lives. For every dollar donated, Roswell Park can leverage an additional $13 in new grant funding!
Please consider donating today. Together, we can end cancer!
