Story
TeamJack was formed when Jack Faulkner (aged just 15) sadly passed away from an aggressive brain cancer back in October 2018. He is missed so much by so many
His family & friends began to fundraise to help the 2 organisations that helped Jack and his family throughout his treatment.
Sheffield Children's Hospital - Jack received all of his treatment through this wonderful organisation. We spent 79 nights in hospital being looked after various teams under the watchful loving eye of Ward 5.
CLIC Sargent - This team provide the support and advice needed to families that find themselves in this desperate situation. They were there when we needed them and they continue to provided exceptional support to family & friends to this day.
To date, TeamJack has raised over £100,000 which has been split between the two charities. Jack had some specific requests that the money should be spent on and each organisation has used the money to meet his requests.
Just Giving have changed the way that 'teams' are viewed and in the new format the offline donations are not counted in the grand total.
The original TeamJack page raised £100K in total (pictured below). This is the new TeamJack Team Page where we will continue to raise money and moving forward we will use this page to track the total. £100K on the old page + whatever this page totals!!
Choosing one charity, or the other is completely your personal choice. You could even split your donation across the two. Whichever you choose, be assured the money will be put to good use.
