Jack Pedersen (16) is a fun-loving sophomore at Blessed Trinity High School with an amazing sense of humor and a huge heart. Son of Jon and Amy Pedersen and brother of Caroline (18), he was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis - a "rare but very treatable cancer” just before Christmas in 2017. For those longing for more information, Jack's oncologist recommends the following:
