I met Emma and her family when I moved to Liverpool and immediately became overwhelmed with admiration for what they have been through and what they continue to go through as a family for Jack. This handsome young lad has severe Quadriplegic cerebral palsy due to medical negligence at birth. Jack's entire life has been a series of battles that he and the family have faced together with dignity and love. They have taken Jack to Panama twice now and the improvements to Jack personally, his abilities, and the families life overall are priceless. I have decided to try and make what little difference I can by helping to raise a few quid too. 

I am already over halfway through my training and can confidently say it is the most physically challenging thing I have ever undertaken. It is also one of the most mentally draining exercises I have come across. But if I can help to make a difference in this boys life, and the lives of the beautiful family that surround him then to me, there is no cost too great. 

Please dig deep for this one, show your appreciation for me, for this fight, but also for what this family go and for the support they truly deserve. 

I will give regular updates up to the fight now and will ensure there is video footage from the night (as I'm sure a few of you would happily like to see me take a few hits). 

Below is more detail from Emma, Jack's mum. 

Love and hugs to you all, C xxx

"Our beautiful boy Jack is 13 years old and has severe Quadriplegic cerebral palsy due to medical negligence at birth. Jacks under gone lots of surgery throughout his life but he's a strong boy with lots of potential. We are asking for your help and support to get Jack stem cell treatment that's not available in the UK. This type of treatment has no known side effects and has the possibility to help Jack increase his abilities. We want to help Jack and realise this is not a cure but feel after years of research this could be amazing for him. This cellular stemcell treatment is not available in th UK yet so we would need to travel to Panama South America for the treatment. After giving birth to our baby daughter in February 2016 we had planned to bank her umbilical cord blood with a private company called cells for life at our own cost to hopefully use as part of siblings cord blood treatment for cerebral palsy at dukes university in America which has been known to give children with cerebral palsy amazing treatments with either there own cord blood or a siblings ord blood but the hospital took to long to give the phlebotomist our baby's umbilical cord and she only managed to get 2mls of blood plus tissue so this wasn't enough blood for treatment to go ahead. Stemcell treatment requires private funding at a cost of around £18,000 for the treatment with flights, accommodation to Panama City. We have managed to raise money ourselves but we can't afford to get it all and if this is a success we plan to take Jack as an ongoing treatment so would need to keep his fundraising journey going and will need all the help and support as possible. We love our boy and won't give up on him".

*UPDATE* Since raising the funds for his first found of stem cell treatment Jack has been doing very well, he is more alert no longer depends on the use of oxygen and his medical well-being is much better. This is why we have extended the target for another round of stem cell.
