"hello Jack....
we just received an email tipping us off to your website, so we had to check it out and learn a little something about you. Boy, are we glad we did! Sounds like you have a most loving family, plenty of friends and you are a cutie to boot... kinda like our 3 year old grandson, who's named Jack too. you would love teaching him all about dancing, cause he mostly loves lawn mowers and garbage trucks... I think every boy should know how to dance, so keep it up.
my husband is about 14 months into his treatment for a GBM too... diagnosed Christmas Eve 2006. it's been a journey full of new experiences, challenges, and more blessings than ever in our 41 year marriage. we have come to know about 35 other wonderful GBM patients through emails, letters and during treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. amazing how many folks are diagnosed each year... we never knew much about it until it came into our lives. but, we feel that this has been a God-led adventure, so we continue on trusting our faith and prayers to carry us through. we'll be adding your name to our ever-growing prayer list tonight... and will check in often to see how you are and what new steps you're learning.
hugs from afar.... some new friends...."

"Dear Mr. & Mrs. Sundberg, Jack and family,
First of all – God Bless you all for the battle you are waging. I am a former employee of WQLN in Erie and was diagnosed with a frontal lobe GBM in July, 2007 and am currently receiving treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. 90% of the tumor was removed and I've undergone radiation, chemo and am on an experimental trial drug – EMD – designed to eliminate the blood flow to the tumor. At this point, the cancer is stable.
As I lay there the night of my surgery, I asked God, what could be worse than this? – and I realized it would be much worse if it were on of my children. As I know you would, I would take any pain and heartache from any one of them. I know you wish you could do the same of Jack.
I know Jack is receiving the best of prayer, medical attention and love from family and friends. I pray for a miracle for him everyday. I have let the fatigue get to me lately, and a dear friend suggested that I reach out to you. Please let me know if you have any questions that I might be able to answer. I know our situations are completely different, but I do know how the treatments make you feel and would be glad to give you any information I can.
One of the things I do to keep myself spiritually fed is to repeat the following. I will repeat them for Jack as well.
The Joy of the Lord is my strength – my strength comes from the Lord.
No evil shall befall me, nor shall any plague come near my dwelling – for you have given your Angels charge over me and in my path lays life, health and healing.
God Bless you all and that precious Angel!"

"Jack! I am so happy you got to go to Disney World with your family. Your friends, Jaxon, Jett, and Jonovan are so jealous! They want to know if you and Robynn got to meet Pluto, the dog. He is their favorite. :) I cannot wait to see the pictures of your trip, but even more I cannot wait to see you! I miss you so much. Hopefully when we come see you we can swim in your pool, and take walks at Asbury Woods, and play in your sandbox again. Maybe you can teach my boys some of your favorite dance moves. I'll sneak you in some raisins and goldfish crackers and we can have a picnic. Keep playing, living, and loving, little man. "

"I'm still praying for all of you and I'm glad you all got to go to Disney World recently. Hugs to all of you (even tho you don't really know me)."

"Hey Jack and the rest of the Sundberg Family, I am so glad you had such a wonderful time on your wish and that you enjoyed Give Kids The World. I had a chance to visit there a couple of years ago while visiting some friends in Florida and fell in love with it. I have never met you Jack but feel as though I know you. I worked with you mommy a lot when she worked for us at Make-A-Wish. I work in the Pittsburgh Office. I think about you so often and say a lot of prayers for you and your family. I have put your name on our prayer chain at our Church so you are mentioned a lot. Take care and lots of hugs coming your way from the entire Make-A-Wish family. Give mommy a big hug from me too. You take care of each other."

"Hello Jack, I am so happy that you and your family got to experience the MAGIC of Disney World, it is a wonderful place. It really sounds like you all had a wonderful time. I can't wait to see the pictures and how much fun you had meeting all the Disney characters and seeing the different shows. Did you get to go in the Haunted House, that is one of my favorites!
Glad to see your back and that you had a great time."

"Hi Sundberg Family: I volunteer with Make A Wish and heard about Jack from an email from Jenny for a fundraiser at Juniors. We weren't able to make it, but I am signing up for the Jazzercise for Jack at St. George!! Jack, you seem like quite a warrior, and a lot of people, even people who don't know you like me, are praying for you. My cousin's daughter had a DIPG and she was able to live for 9 months after her diagnosis and she and her family made the most of every moment they got. They started a foundation to research childhood brain cancer: www.thecurestartsnow.org. I am going to email them about you and know that will allow more people to read your story and include you in their prayers. God bless you all."

"Hi Sundberg Family! We hope you are all having a GREAT time at Disney! We will be so excited to hear about your trip on Saturday. Jack and Robynn- all the boys and girls in your ballet class say "hi" and we hope you had a ton of "Dance Magic" at Disney!"

"Hi Jack! I am so excited that you and your family are in Disney. I hope that you are having fun with all the Disney Characters. I just wanted to let you know that I came up this weekend to go to the South Hills Winter Walk. I can't wait to see all of you South Hills friends there helping you out. Have fun in Florida."
