In an open letter on World MS Day on May 25, Jack, who has daughters Pearl, four, and Andy, 11 months, with wife Lisa, wrote, "Multiple Sclerosis. Two words that changed my life forever.
"When I learned I had relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis four years ago, it was the scariest moment of my life. I was only 26 years old, I had just become a father and I thought my whole life was in front of me - but there I was, being told I had an incurable and often debilitating illness. I had so many emotions and so many questions, and, frankly, I was terrified of the unknown," he wrote.
"After I was diagnosed, I turned to my family first, and then to the Internet. I tried to gather as much information as I possibly could on what MS is, how it manifests and what that would mean for me. I was overwhelmed, and it was a lot to process and digest," he continued.
