Story
Exercise ‘Raw Hide’ is a charity bike ride designed to encompass all the values that Ark exudes. The specific aim of this exercise is to enhance team spirit and raise as much money as possible for the "Jack Banks Fund - Wallace and Gromit Grand Appeal" in support of James Martin and the Bristol Children's Hospital. It is intended that about 20 -25 members of the Ark family will participate in this event which will be held on Fri 15 Aug 2014.
Jack Banks was 4 years old when he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia. For over 4 years Jack underwent chemotherapy, radiotherapy and 2 bone marrow transplants all at the Bristol Children’s Hospital.
Jack died on 23 July 2008, aged 9.
Jack’s mum set up a Star Tribute Fund in his memory through the Wallace & Gromit Grand Appeal and her ultimate aim is to pay for and equip a new modern playroom and integrated conservatory on the newly refurbished Oncology & BMT Unit.
A special place where children undergoing treatment for cancer can spend precious time away from their hospital beds.
On the personal request of the Martin family we aim to help Jack’s mum reach her target of £100,000
