Cheek Swab for Jack's Life | Providence News

At the annual Blessing of the Fleet in Narragansett, runners didn’t just race for glory—they raced to save a 5-year-old boy, Jack Palms, battling a rare blood disorder. After finishing their 10-mile run, many stopped to donate a simple cheek swab, a quick act that could be Jack’s lifeline. His aunt praised his joyful spirit and determination, even during grueling therapy. People from across the country, like Owen McHale from Boston, joined the effort, saying they’d want the same for their own families. The drive continues through Saturday—with online options for those who can’t be there—and the community’s response has been nothing short of heartwarming.
