Memorials
Jack’s Fund is dedicated to helping survivors cope with the loss of a loved one and is actively seeking meaningful ways to commemorate the wonderful lives cut short by melanoma.
Remembering Jack
Jack H. Marston II was and continues to be an inspiration to all who knew him. His enthusiasm for life, compassion for others, and love for family and friends served as a model during his lifetime, and reminds us of what’s important now that he is gone.
Jack’s Fund understands the necessity of remembering and celebrating those who have lost their battle with melanoma. Each fall, Jack’s Fund sponsors a 5K race to honor Jack and all those who have fought and are currently fighting this terrible disease.
In honor of Jack’s four-time completion of the Chicago Marathon, the Fund also sponsors a marathon team. Runners have proudly competed the last three years as Jack’s Team, while raising funds toward research, awareness, and hopefully one day, the cure.
Jack honored at 2007 Advocate Lutheran General Leadership Conference
Remembering Amy
As the father of Amy Caryn Kaphengst, deceased by melanoma on January 6th 2007, I'd like to thank your program and Dr. Jon Richards for his care of my daughter these past few years. I walked in the 5k in Glen Ellyn in 2005 and I hope to do so in the future. Thank you for your dedicated work to relieve patients and parents like us.
Sincerely,
Edward S. Friedricks, MD (retired) January 24, 2007
