Brian, one of Jack's best friends, came up with an idea to help keep Jack's spirits up. He is spearheading this project, and has shared about it via social media in hopes of spreading the word. Here's what he wrote:
This
past month, a very close friend of mine named Jack was diagnosed with
acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Jack and I walked together at our
high school graduation less than a month ago and now he is fighting for
his life against this dreaded disease. To help him with his fight
against cancer, some friends and I are hoping to start a special project
to encourage him during his battle. This project is called Postcards
for Jack, in which we hope to have a postcard sent to him from all 50
states (or anywhere in the world!) with an encouraging message written
for him.
If you have a chance, I ask that you please share this
with family, friends and anyone else you may know. If you are willing to
send a postcard to Jack, please send it to the following address:
6100 Richfield Road Flint, MI 48506
Thank you for sharing your words of encouragement and lifting up our
spirits. Your support in this way will help give Jack even more strength
to keep up the fight!

If you'd like to follow Jack's postcard progress, the map below shows from what states Jack has already received postcards. And
click here if you'd like to see the postcards themselves. Whether your state has reached out to him or not, we're sure he'd love to hear a word of encouragement from you!
