Support John Paruolo's Fight for Health

Hey friends, family, and music lovers,

We are Bill Bergman and Mark Campbell from Jack Mack and the Heart Attack, reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits for our beloved friend and bandmate, John Paruolo. For decades, John has poured his soul into music, touching countless lives with his kindness and talent. Now, he needs our love and support.

John’s musical journey began at just four years old, driven by a passion for keyboards. His talent took him from self-taught beginnings to the prestigious Chicago Conservatory of Music. In the ‘80s, he joined us in Jack Mack, creating unforgettable moments and sharing music that lifted spirits. His work has been featured in iconic films like *Police Academy* and *Back to the Future*, and he’s played alongside legends like Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, Joe Walsh, Glenn Frey of the Eagles, along with several other musical legends.

However, life took a devastating turn for John. Diagnosed with Crohn's disease, he endured five major surgeries before the Affordable Care Act passed, leaving him financially drained. His health has continued to decline, and he now suffers from chronic kidney disease and severe neuropathy, which has robbed him of feeling in his legs as well as his hands, taking away his ability to perform—the very thing that sustained him.

Today, John and his devoted wife, Bunny, face overwhelming challenges. With mounting medical bills and living below the poverty line, they’re struggling to meet basic needs. It breaks our hearts to see someone who has given so much to the world now in such need.

That’s why we’re asking for your help. We invite you to contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small. Every dollar raised will go directly to easing John and Bunny’s burden, allowing them to live with a little less fear and a lot more hope.

Please join us in supporting John by clicking the GoFundMe link below. Together, we can show him just how loved and appreciated he truly is.

With gratitude, love and soul,

Bill Bergman and Mark Campbell
