Jack Lushbough Returns to the Water | Duluth News

Sixteen-year-old Jack Lushbough is back on the water for the first time since October, marking a huge milestone after battling a ruptured appendix, Crohn’s disease, and months of hospitalization—including time at the Mayo Clinic. Through intense pain and neurological complications, Jack’s recovery has been a rollercoaster for his family, with repeated hospital stays and emotional highs and lows. Still in physical therapy, he’s relearning to walk and climb stairs, but his spirit remains unbroken. He credits his support system—hospital staff, friends, and community—for helping him grow stronger and more grateful. In honor of his comeback, the Duluth Yacht Club and Duluth Superior Sailing Association are hosting a fundraiser on September 2nd from 6 to 10 PM at Park Point, raising funds directly for Jack as he continues healing. His return to sailing isn’t just a personal triumph—it’s a powerful symbol of resilience and community strength. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
