Jack's Lemonade

This past weekend (Saturday, May 24th) saw the wonderfully successful re-opening of Jack's Lemonade Stand. Jack has drug-resistant epilepsy, but has gained good seizure control on the ketogenic diet. Being a remarkably selfless 5-year-old, Jack decided that he wanted to help other kids who are sick, so he and his parents came up with the idea of opening a Lemonade Stand to raise funds for SickKids Hospital in Toronto, where Jack is being treated. This year marked the second annual Jack's Lemonade Stand, and the event was enormously successful, raising $40,000! So, please join me in congratulating Jodi and David (Jack's parents), Jack and Christopher (Jack's younger brother) on such a great job in raising both funds and awareness for epilepsy.
