Hi my name is Joe, and I lost my younger brother to suicide in December 2022. In September 2023 I decided to start my own business named after my younger brother, called JACKsBACK Media, a video production company, as Jack always wanted to become a film producer and loved anything film related.

Jack was 26 years old when he passed, a young, extremely bright, creative soul, who lost his way in this world early on, Jack loved anything film related, and could recite his favourite films off the top of his head, he was quiet, kind and gentle and loved music. He started off his journey through life on the wrong foot and unfortunately never managed to gain his balance, after many silent years battling his demons and struggling with his mental health, Jack decided to leave this world, without warning, without a goodbye.

I have chosen to participate in various events through JACKsBACK Media, the first one being a 10km run in the Easter 50 Ultra Challenge on the 06/04/2024 followed by a tandem skydive on the 28/04/2024 in the hope to raise money for Papyrus, so that they can help others like Jack, in their time of need.
