2. Childhood Cancer Statistics
Each year, the parents of approximately
15,700 kids will hear the words “your child
has cancer.”
Every day, 43 children are diagnosed with
cancer.
1 out of 8 do not survive.
Children’s cancer affects all ethnic, gender
and socio-economic groups.
Average age of diagnosed is six.
More than 40,000 children undergo
treatment each year.

Our Vision
When a child has cancer, the fears are endless.
Will they see their next birthday? Are they in
pain? How will they feel when they lose their
hair? Will they ever learn their ABCs, addition,
subtraction, how to read? With these
insurmountable fears, the last thing a parent
needs to worry about is where to take their
child when they spike a fever or catch a cough.
Due to the treatments these children undergo,
they often have compromised immune
systems. Their parents fear that a simple trip
to the grocery store could cause fatal germ
exposure! Imagine the terror those parents
feel when their child shows signs of illness that
require a visit to the local Emergency Room,
full of illness and germs.
During Super Jack’s treatment at St. Jude’s
Children’s Research Hospital, there was a
“Medicine Room,” there to treat
immunocompromised children who required
urgent medical care. Super Jack’s parents
knew he was safe there, and that they could
take him in without the worry of exposing him
to additional illnesses. There is no such “safe
zone” in the Omaha Metro area.
Jack’s Story
On June 9, 2014 the Speichert family
celebrated the 2nd birthday of their healthy,
happy little boy. He had unending energy
and a boundless enthusiasm for life! Just a
short 39 days later, Jack’s parents received
the devastating news that their vibrant little
boy had an aggressive brain tumor.
Jack fought hard and gave it his all for the
next 13 months. Unfortunately, Cancer
won the battle on August 22, 2015; but the
Speichert family, along with Operation
Super Jack refuse to let it win the war!
Your donation will help keep Jack’s spirit
and love for life alive by providing the
necessary help, support and resources to
all pediatric patients with compromised
immune systems.
We Got This!
June, 2014
January, 2015
The goal of Operation Super Jack is to
establish a safe zone for all children with
compromised immune systems. Super Jack’s
safe zone will be part of the emergency
department at a local hospital where all
immunocompromised children can receive
treatment in a sterile and clean area separate
from the everyday traffic. It will have the same
resources available in any emergency room,
but eliminate the risk for all children fighting
cancer, any organ transplants, genetic
disorders, or an array of illnesses which
weaken the immune system.
Every child deserves a safe place go when
fever or illness strike. Your donation will help
turn this vision into reality and keep
Super Jack’s legacy alive.
