West Ham cancer boy sends video message from LA

hammers-fan-and-cancer-sufferer-jack-howard An incredible £187,000 has been raised to help a young West Ham fan in his bid to beat cancer for the second time. Friends, family and well wishers of 12 year old Jack Howard have been raising money through a variety of events and collections, and this week the fund edged closer to the £250,000 target.

Young Jack is now in Los Angeles with his family, receiving potentially life-saving treatment for kidney cancer, but appointments and accommodation are placing serious strain on their finances.

The family paid £1,000 for the first consultation meeting alone and efforts have been stepped up back home this week to make sure he is given the best chance to keep fighting.

Buckets at the West Ham v Southampton game raised £7,300 from both sets of fans.

Jack has sent a message to West Ham supporters from his hospital bed.
