Jackson is 15 and lives in Dumfries with his Mum, Dad, 5 year old Sister Jasmine & his Aunt Erica. Jackson was born with a rare genetic condition called Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome. This condition affects chromosome 4 where the tip of the chromosome is missing. More info can be found by following this link: http://whs4pminus.co.uk

Everyday life is full of both emotional & physical struggles pain, hospital admissions, vomiting, medication, worry, anxiety, sleep deprivation the list goes on. More recently Jackson has become so unwell that his body no longer tolerates food or liquids and he is therefore fed exclusively by tube, his muscle strength has gone meaning he is now mainly reliant on a wheelchair, he has become more withdrawn & needs 24 hour care.

In order for Jackson to have a chance & quality of life again he requires numerous tests to be carried out under a General Anaesthetic. Based upon the result of these tests, the hope is to give Jackson a better quality of life, surgery. However, the waiting list is endless and it just isn't something that can wait so the family are looking at Private Health Care and alternative therapy.

Croma Vigilant will be taking part in the National 3 Peaks Challenge on the 30th June 2017 to help raise funds for Jackson's Fight and to help make his dreams come true.
