Like many of you know, Jack is the face of Mia Pizza at the Grimes Hy-Vee. Before working at the Grimes location Jack also worked at the downtown Hy-Vee for years as well. Jack enjoys interacting with his customers and co-workers and always finds a way to bring a smile to their faces. For years, Jack has been a dedicated employee, biking most of the time to and from work even in Iowa's unpredictable weather. When Jack isn't riding his bike, he is probably reading a book, checking out a good movie, or catching a ball game downtown at his favorite spot.
Jack was recently diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. ALS is a rare, fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. Consider learning more about this disease to understand more of what Jack and others living with ALS may be going through at https://www.als.org/understanding-als
It is our hope that we can show up for Jack and serve him in this time of need whether it be by making a monetary donation or keeping him in your prayers, it’s all appreciated.
Please consider donating to this fund to support Jack with the challenges and costs that will arise navigating this diagnosis. The funds that are raised will be used for his care needs.
Thank you for your kindness and consideration!
