Jack Lambert BTRS (Jacks Journey)
Fundraising for Brain Tumour Research & Support across Yorkshire
Story
Thank you for visiting Jack's page.
Jack Lambert is 7 years old.
He is strong, determined and is rarely seen without a smile that could melt a thousand hearts.
Jack is in remission from a metastatic medulloblastoma (cancer of the brain and spine)
In 2010 Jack was suddenly, with little warning, diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour.
He was just 20 months old.
He endured 6 months of chemotherapy followed by an intensive course of high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant.
Sadly in June 2012 the cancer returned in his spine and the Lamberts lives were once again, cruelly, turned upside down.
Jack had to go through intensive radiotherapy everyday for 6 weeks - he was just 3 years old.
Jack's determination and strength brought him through and in December 2012 Jack went into remission.
He now has to have 6 monthly regular scans to monitor his progress. All since have shown no evidence of disease.
In 2013 Jack started main stream school which he throughly enjoys and only a week ago (Oct 2014) Jack took his longest steps across his living room floor without the aid of his walker - something doctors said would never happen.
In 2012 Jack's mum Jen and 3 of her close friends decided to raise funds and awareness for Yorkshire based charity Brain Tumour Research and Support (BTRS) having found out that brain cancer is massively underfunded, with less than 1% raised nationally for cancer research being devoted to brain cancer research yet it has the highest mortality rate of all cancers of those aged under 40.
This is when Jack's Journey fundraising began!
So far, with the unwavering support of the community, Jack's Journey has raised£47,000 (as at Oct 2015) for BTRS.
This money is pumped directly into vital research and patient support.
We thoroughly appriciate all the support we have had over the last few years, a lot of people have gone to a lot of effort to help us raise funds on behalf of Jack.
We hope you continue to follow and support Jack's Journey.
Thank you for taking the time to read Jack's story.
