Jack’s first words to his parents when he was diagnosed with leukemia four years ago was, “I’ve got this. When can I start fighting?”
Jack said he felt invigorated after his battle with cancer, “both to find joy and meaning in my life and to give back to those that helped me along the way. I want to prove to them and to the world that there was and is a reason that I survived.”
He said he didn’t know exactly what the future holds, but he said he wanted to approach it with optimism and the many things he learned from his father. In a personal note to his father, Jack said, “Dad, thanks for always being there and teaching us how to do what is right. I love you. Happy Father’s Day.”
