Meet the Founder.
"Nearly 4 months ago, my father was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease — a progressive neurological disorder that impairs movement and mood — leading to his development of a tremor, poor motor skills, and mental health issues. As I watched my father struggle, I made a promise to myself: that I would do everything in my power to help treat and bring awareness to this disease."
As a student at Boston College, studying Neuroscience, with a minor in Faith, Peace, and Justice, Jack has done just that. He is currently conducting a study with Hartford HealthCare, analyzing the effects of a multi-strain fiber on the gut microbiome and neurological symptoms associated with Parkinson's Disease.
Jack strongly believes in the integration of research, education, and advocacy to improve neurological health and care equity. He hopes one day to practice Neurology/Neurosurgery.
