Dear all,

I've set this web page up for my friend, Daniel Thrale. Daniel is running the London Marathon to raise money for Jack Brown. After reading of Jack's plight, I felt it was the least I could do to set up this page and email it to my friends and contacts. It takes a lot of time and dedication to run a marathon, but this cause is so important as we are trying to save the life of this little boy. I'm sure you cannot fail to be moved by his plight, even more so if you are a Mum or Dad. Please send this page to everyone, not only to sponsor Daniel (which is great) but to help Jack Brown.

On 27th November, Jack started complaining of severe head pains. CT scans revealed a tumour in his brain, 2.5 inches in size.

The brain is the only part of the body the antibody treatment cannot reach, indicating Jack's original treatment was successful within its scope.

This relapse is considered non curative except at Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Centre in New York. MSK has developed a range of options including liquid radiation directly to the NB cells in the relapsed area; this has been shown to be 100% effective. All 10 patients treated in the same way over the past three years have remained disease free; this is very significant. When a parent is about to lose their child, these statistics are vitally important.

A further $750,000 is urgently needed to complete this treatment.

There is currently no UK government funding for this treatment, so this is the only hope for Jack and his family. Jack's parents, both Detective Sergeants at the Metropolitan Police, have moved their family, including his brother Connor, 10, and sister Rhian, 7, to the US, where they continue to support Jack's relentless fight to beat this disease. They are staying in a room at Ronald McDonald House, which provides a "home away from home" for families whose children are undergoing treatment at nearby hospitals.

Please help us raise funds for Jack's treatment.
