Exclamation jack brown appeal (neuroblastoma treatment available in the U.S)

The Jack Brown Appeal

Scoobynetters,

Have just watched tonight's BBC news and was moved by Jack's story. He has

This is Jack


He has neuroblastoma, a form of cancer. He has it at an advanced stage, and according to the report, he is unable to get newly developed medical treatment in the U.K.

Fund raising is going on, and donations can be made on the Jack Brown Appeal site. I am posting this thread with the confidence that fellow Scooby owners will make personal donations etc, maybe we can go further ??

More from the official site:

As Jack’s disease was spread to every bone in his body, the chances of the disease recurring are extremely high.


IF THE DISEASE RECURS, THERE IS NO CURATIVE OPTION

Jack’s only hope of non-recurrence is to have the antibodies.
The cost of antibody therapy which is available at the Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Centre in New York is US $350,000.
We need to raise these funds before Jack can be given the potentially life saving therapy.

His parents both former Scotland Yard officers are also acquiring the Charity Fund Raising assistance of both UK and U.S. Police forces...

An article in the UPDATES section on the .org site:

22nd January 2007 Jack’s appeal has made news this week both here in the UK and New York. Read the articles below.

British cancer boy needs £375,000 for pioneering US care
Telegraph - Tom Leonard in New York

City offers Brit boy a fighting chance to beat cancer
New York Daily News - Christina Boyle

Cheers
