Jack’s Family

Our Youngest Son, Jack, has just been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa. This inherited eye condition affects one in 4000 people in the UK. Retinitis Pigmentosa can cause a gradual decline of sight or can also be aggressive, which has now been diagnosed in our son within the past six weeks.

THERE IS NO CURE! We have traced a clinic in Berlin, Germany, that specialises in this disease. Jack will receive 10 x treatments over the space of two weeks, and if the treatments are a success, Jack will regain anything from two to three times his vision and possibly regain his night vision.

These procedures would hopefully mean that Jack would recover most of his vision and, hopefully, lead as normal a life as possible without going blind. Any funds raised would be used to pay for the treatments and secure a slot at the clinic with immediate effect.

No person should have to suffer from this disease, especially at such a young age of 20. We understand that times are hard for everyone, not only in the UK but worldwide, hence why we have set up this page for all of your support.

Please donate what you can to assist our family, help us give Jack the chance to get his sight back and live his life to the full. Thank you.
