‘Heart warrior’ Jack Middlemiss celebrates five years post-heart transplant
<p>DRACUT — Jack Middlemiss is your typical third-grader. He likes baseball and watching the Red Sox, he plays Minecraft and Fortnite on his Nintendo Switch and he occasionally wrestles with his younger sister, Grace, at their Dracut home.</p>
