Mr. Cesarek is a co-founder of Jack’s Caregiver Coalition who fancies himself a trophy husband. He lost his sister to Leukemia when he was 11, his bride was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer when their daughter was 8 months old, and his mom recently developed endometrial cancer. Recently he completed a 4-year stint as a stay at home dad. Now he’s in law school and actively supports the mission of numerous cancer focused non-profits. He spends his spare time winning cool stuff like the Heffelbower Fellowship and the University of St. Thomas Law School’s 2018 “Living the Mission” award.
What We Carry
What We Carry: Where Care Meets Strength was created to bring honest conversations about caregiving into the open.
At Jack’s Caregiver Coalition, we meet men every day who have stepped into the role of caring for someone they love. Many didn’t expect it. Most were never given a roadmap. Yet they show up anyway—with responsibility, resilience, and strength that often goes unseen.
This podcast shares those voices.
Through conversations with caregivers, sequel makers, donors, community partners, and leaders across many industries, What We Carry explores the real experiences behind caregiving and the community that forms when people realize they don’t have to carry it alone.
Because the people doing this work aren’t experts because of titles. They’re experts because they’ve lived it.
No man should care alone.
