Every superhero needs a team. Mack has the best one in the business — the doctors, nurses, surgeons, and dietitians of Lurie Children's Hospital, plus the mom and dad who never leave his side. Here's everyone who makes Mack's mighty story possible.
Mack's primary cardiologist. Patient, brilliant, and the steady voice his family leans on every time test results come back. Has answered the words "but what does that mean?" more times than he can count — always with a smile.
The reason Mack laughs more days than he cries. She knows exactly how he likes to be rocked, which lullabies calm him before a check-up, and which stuffed animal needs to come along for every blood draw.
The steady hands behind Mack's open-heart surgery. Trains other pediatric cardiac surgeons across the country, but never feels prouder than when one of her little patients walks out of Lurie's healthier than they walked in.
A trusted member of Mack's surgical team at Lurie Children's Hospital. He brings careful expertise, a reassuring smile, and the kind of steady confidence that helps families feel supported through every step of the journey.
The reason Mack keeps growing while his heart works overtime. Builds every feeding plan gram by gram, celebrates each ounce gained like a championship win, and has turned growth chart into the family's favorite kind of good news.
Mack's mom and co-founder of the foundation that carries his name. She keeps every appointment, every medication, and every milestone in her head — and still has room for the other CHD families she has met along the way. When she says no one walks this road alone, she means it.
Mack's dad and co-founder of the foundation. The one who packs the hospital bag before anyone asks, learns the name of every machine in the room, and carries the calm his family needs on the long nights. He built this foundation so the next dad in that waiting room would find someone already there.
One year old. One mighty heart. One blue suit, one red cape, and a grin that has earned him fans across the entire cardiac ward. Currently awaiting his transplant — and proving every day that the smallest heroes can be the bravest of all.
