Are You a ChangeMaker?

A ChangeMaker doesn't need to be a Caregiver or a Sequel Maker, but they believe in our mission and support them.

Is that you?

Become a Changemaker

My identity prior to my cancer experience was that of a hardworking, kind of abrasive, in your face, get it done, no excuses kinda guy. I think people were fairly intimidated by me. One of my partners pretty much avoided any confrontation because he knew it was gonna be an outright battle and I wasn’t gonna lose. But anyone who’s faced the challenge of caring for a loved one with cancer will tell you that it challenges you to grow. It’s made me a way better boss. A way better husband. A way better father. A way better person. I’m a lot more empathetic than I ever was. I continue to find more opportunities to just be humble and caring and compassionate.   

I believe what becoming a member of Jack’s did for me was accelerate that growth, maybe even exponentially. The stuff I’ve learned and the relationships I’ve built have given me the confidence, the clarity, and peace of mind that I am in fact bringing my best to my challenges.”
