Please support Jeff on his recovery from a devastating aneurysm and stroke. Unfortunately, Jeff is no stranger to aneurysm as he lost his mother to one at the age of eleven and suffered his own in 2016. Then in 2020, he beat a rare form of leukemia, spending six weeks in isolation receiving treatment during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Jeff showed incredible resilience battling back from both of these previous health crises with his wife Betsy vigilantly at his side.

When Jeff isn't working his day job driving for Penske he can be found following his passion volunteering for the Hanover Township Emergency Services. On Wednesday, November 20 Jeff collapsed during a meeting at the fire station and was rushed to the hospital. The Emergency room doctors diagnosed him with bleeding from his original aneurysm repair on the left side of his brain and a new, severe hemorrhagic stroke on the right side of his brain.

Jeff is currently in the ICU and faces an incredibly long and difficult recovery ahead. He will need significant OT, PT, and Speech Therapy to help recover the function on the left side of his body. Jeff and Betsy will both face significant time away from work and will need help with medical expenses.

Jeff has spent so much of his time helping others. Now we are asking that you help him and his family.


The CT Scan above shows the large amount of blood present (white cloud) in the right side of Jeff's brain from the hemorrhagic stroke. Note... CT Scans are viewed from the perspective of bottom-up, face at the top, which is why the hemorrhage appears on the left in the image.
