Jack Howard (Kent)
Just read an article on this little boy, only 12 years old - fighting an aggressive cancer.
Parents trying to get him to America for treatment. Apologies if already mentioned somewhere else.
Big West Ham fan, thought i'd share on here.
Just in case anyone else also cares to donate a little for one of our own kind;

(I don't know the kid or the family, just saw it on the Kent website and they're local to me!)

I have made a donation. However, I hope the club gets wind of this and helps to raise money.

I know only to well how social media can make things happen for our heroic kiddos.

Done! Good luck kid!
As a father myself I cannot imagine how his parents cope and the parents of other children who suffer with this evil disease!

Tweeted and copied in Davis Gold with "please share to help a hammer". I don't know if he will read it, I don't know if he will care. But it is worth a shot.

I believe Ronaldo recently paid for a young lads entire cancer treatment, and although our boys aren`t in his pay region, 5 grand from each of our first team squad wouldn`t make that much of a dent in their wallets

Re: Jack Howard (Kent)
Any way of fi ding out where in America he is trying to get treatment?
I only ask out of curiosity because I've had firsthand experience with many of the major pediatric tumor facilities over here.

Donated.
Really hope it gets picked up by West Ham, with all the money flying about recently and the amount the players are on. This should be easily funded by West Ham / Players.

Come on everyone, clearly life is more about winning and losing, standing or sitting. Let's get behind this young man's campaign.
