About this campaign
On March 11, 2016 I'll be embarking on the toughest running race of my life The 6633 Ultra. (www.6633ultra.com). I'll be running 352 miles from Eagle Plains, Yukon in Canada, to the Arctic Ocean where the temps will be well below zero. I'm taking on this challenge in the hope of shining a spotlight on a much greater challenge, and to motivate and inspire others to help. What I'm doing is NOTHING compared to what a brave little boy named Jack Rollins is fighting.
Jack is only 5 years old and been battling Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma Cancer for over half his life. And his parents have had to mentally endure the torture, worry, and helplessness while trying to care for their child. They have so much to worry about, let's try and help by taking just a bit of the financial worry off their chests. They've had to take leave of absences from work and lost an entire single income, incurred enormous travel expenses as they have taken Jack to New York many times for treatment (and now Michigan) and had to pay numerous co-pays, and many huge medical expenses that insurance doesn't cover, all the while maintaining their normal expenses we all do...mortgage, insurance, car, utilities, etc.
While other healthy children his age are doing things that all kids do, Jack has been in and out of hospitals for more than half his life. Neuroblastoma is very aggressive and needs extensive and invasive treatments. He's undergone many chemo treatments, many rounds of radiation, multiple broviac placement surgeries, multiple bone marrow aspirations, numerous blood transfusions, tons of scans, colonoscopies, many many hours of surgeries, many stem cell retrievals, multiple rounds of immunotherapy treatments, a fractured leg, nerve damage resulting in permanent "drop foot", many biopsies, and too many hospital stays to count...some weeks long, and some months long at WVU Children's Hospital in WV and some at Sloan-Kettering in New York. Now poor little Jack has relapsed again, and after not responding to his latest treatment, his parents have rushed him to Helen Devos Childrens Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Jack is a precious little boy...and we have NOT, and will NEVER EVER GIVE UP hope! Jack has always fought this battle with bravely, determination, and strength...like a true Super-hero. His beautiful smile, warm hugs, and abundance of 'I love you's, actually strengthens those around him too. His parents are good hard working people, who love and would do anything for their son. Let's help them.
100% of the funds generated will go to Jack Rollins' parents. I realize this is a big responsibility and I take it very seriously. My only motivation is to help Jack and his family and I will likely deliver the money personally to them when I visit Gramma and Ginga once the tee-shirt campaign closes. Let's help one of Gramma and Ginga's biggest little fans!!! Thank you.
