Can You Help a Brother?
Jack Sperry ’85 has been transplant-approved
Brother Jack Sperry has a problem – he needs a kidney. Jack’s brother Henry shared the details in a recent Facebook post:
“Jack … is a beloved brother and the father of two beautiful teen-aged daughters, Alex and Emma Sperry.
“Fifteen years ago, Jack was diagnosed with Berger’s Syndrome (IgA Neuropathy), a kidney disease that occurs when a specific antibody lodges in one’s kidneys. THERE IS NO CURE. The disease slowly progresses over years until eventually, the kidneys cease functioning. When Jack was diagnosed, the hope was that the disease would progress so slowly that medical intervention would not be required in his lifetime.
“Sadly, this is not the case. His kidney function is below the critical threshold. It is time for serious medical intervention. Last fall, Jack’s local nephrologist referred Jack to both the University of Cincinnati and Ohio State University transplant centers. I am pleased to report that after thorough and comprehensive medical evaluations, Jack has been approved by both centers for organ transplant.

Ohio Zeta – A Bond Unbroken
Thoughts on Why We Give
“When I meet a brother, unseen or without contact over many years, the connection is still felt.”
Have you ever asked yourself why you give-if you give, that is? If the statisticians are right, only one brother in ten is likely to give back regularly once they put on their cap and gown.
There are lots of good reasons to give, of course. Do you believe in affording the next generation of young men the same experience you had with Ohio Zeta? Maybe something good happened to you just by being together in that house, sharing those experiences that helped make you who you are now.
