Swim for J.A.C.K.

5 year-old Jack Brown is suffering from a rare childhood cancer called Neuroblastoma. Without medical intervention Jack will die.

Sadly treatment is not available in the UK. Jack and his family have had to relocate to the USA where Jack is currently receiving the treatment he so desperately needs.

The cost of this treatment is in the region of $750,000 and Jack and his family desperately need help to meet this cost.

In August, there is going to be a Channel Swim in aid of the Jack Brown Appeal.

This short video is the first in a series of "diaries" showing the training for this mammoth event.

Please take a moment to view the video and please, PLEASE, make a donation to the appeal.

My 5 month old cousin passed away two weeks ago, it killed me. I want to do anything I can to help with Neuroblastoma, I don't want another person to have to stand over their cousins grave to know there is nothing you can do now. May Jack get well, and May you hold and tell anyone that you love you love them, please for my cousin Owen, you never know when they will not be there.
