Jack is a bright and determined child who loves collecting flags, flying kites, and fishing. Born at just 26 weeks alongside his twin brother, Jori, Jack faced heartbreaking challenges from the start. Tragically, Jori passed after six days, and Jack was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, a dangerous build up of fluid in his brain. In his first year, Jack underwent seven lifesaving neurosurgeries at HSC Children's Hospital.
As a result of his condition, Jack now lives with cerebral palsy, requiring mobility aids like walkers and canes. Despite these challenges, Jack's resilience shines, and his favourite phrase is, "I can do it!"
Thanks to donor support, Jack had access to advanced surgical tools, groundbreaking research, and ongoing care at Manitoba's only children's hospital . His parents, Samantha and Jason, are deeply grateful for the support that saved Jack's life and helps him thrive today.
