We are a group of Firefighters that are cycling the 127 miles along the Liverpool to Leeds canal on 11th July 2019.
This is a fundraising page for our friends Chris and Gemma, parents to Jacob who was born 8 weeks premature without his left arm. Jacob is an energetic, fun loving beautiful boy, who is outgoing & loves playing with his friends he loves jumping, climbing, football and gymnastics. 
Jacob has recently started primary school and instead of this been an exciting time this has unfortunately started to cause Jacob anxiety as this has highlighted to him that he only has one arm and has become more aware that hes a little different to the other children.

Jacobs little arm is quite short and doesnt have an elbow joint which means there is limited options in the uk for a prosthetic arm, after some research the best place to get Jacob a body powered arm would be USA . The prosethics are costly and Jacob is going to need more than one as he will need new arms as he grows.

Jacobs parents have a great network of friends who are extremely supportive and have a few fund raising events in the pipe line such as tough mudder, and planning on the national 3 peaks. These  are just some of the fund raisers that are planned and there will be more in the future.  So we are all asking for help & support to raise the funds needed to get Jacob to the USA for his first consultation and his first arm. Thank you for taking the time to read Jacobs story & thank you so much for your help & support in getting Jacob his wish!
