Jack and his two brothers-in-law are taking part in the 3 Peaks Challenge to raise funds for LATCH Children's Cancer Charity! (www.latchwales.org)
The cause is incredibly close to his family's heart as his nephew, Joey, Romano’s little boy, was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer aged one years old, just as the COVID-19 pandemic began.
It was a helpless time for Jack and his family, unable to offer any support in person whilst Joey was going through treatment, but charities like LATCH provided incredible support when nobody else could.
Thankfully, Joey is in full recovery now, although he still undergoes many scans.
Now they would love to give back and help ensure LATCH can continue to help other families in need so on
30th August they have decided to walk the
three highest peaks in the UK to raise money for LATCH.
They are funding the trip themselves so any donations you can make to Latch to help make a difference would be amazing! Just click the link below to donate.
LATCH are a brilliant charity that support children and their families who are being treated for Cancer. They provide financial and a emotional support, as well as offering accommodation to families free of charge to help keep families together during their child’s stay in hospital. Staying on site allows families to stay together during a really tough time, especially considering many families travel from as far as Aberystwyth.
Caring for a child during treatment is long and hard on all the family. Finances are often a worry as parents will often have to take time off work to support their child. Family relationships can suffer too, as the emotional pressure takes its toll and everyday life is turned upside down.
