Meet Jack

Jack started having seizures before the age of one. Even with medication, his seizures persisted and Jack was diagnosed with intractable epilepsy, a type of epilepsy that does not respond to medication. In 2007, his doctors decided to put him on the Ketogenic Diet - a medically rigid diet high in fats, low in carbohydrates. With the combination of his diet and medication, his seizures have decreased by 90%. Jack is also being evaluated for brain surgery.

Despite his medical challenges, Jack remains a happy and loving boy. He is a proud big brother to Christopher and as a young philanthropist with Jack's Lemonade Stand, Jack is truly making a difference for other children.

Jack and his family hope that one day a cure for epilepsy will be found.
