Hi I'm Jack, I'm 7 months old and have a brain tumor. Check out my website to share in my medical journey.
www.caringbridge.org/visit/teamjack. There you can see pictures, stories and share an occasional tear.

My story may seem like a bumpy ride but with you on my team I am sure I can land safely. Jack’s Mommy and Daddy are former Greensboro College student athletes (Bev Wilson Purssord, women's soccer and John Paul Purssord, men's lacrosse) and we are all proud to be part of their family’s team.

GO TEAM JACK!
