Overview

On Tuesday, June 5th, 2018, just five days after graduating from high school, Jack was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Though his diagnosis has changed our lives forever, we are trusting in the Lord, and praising him for Jack’s past, present and future. We so appreciate your prayers, as well as your words of support and encouragement, and are using this site to keep family and friends updated. Thank you for visiting.
