Source: www.wiganwarriors.comWigan Warriors Rugby Manager Kris Radlinski has thrown his support behind the Joining Jack Campaign.
Radlinski is an Ambassador for the campaign which will raise money into Duchenne, a devastating form of muscular Dystrophy for which currently there is no known cure. Jack is Jack Johnson the son of ex-Wigan, Huddersfield, Castleford, London and Salford player Andy who has been diagnosed with the disease.
A charity and website have been set up, the charity is called Joining Jack with all money raised going 100% into research for a cure for Duchenne.
A whole host of former Rugby League stars including Andrew Farrell, Shaun Edwards, Gary Connolly, Jason Robinson and Phil Clarke to name just a few are also ambassadors of the Charity.
Radlinski told us,
"It is devastating news for Andy Johnson and his family to find out that their precious son Jack has this terrible condition but it is wonderful to see that when something like this happens that the Rugby League family comes together to do all they can to help. There will be a number of events and fundraising activities in the weeks and months to come and by setting up the charity it has given Jack's parents Andy and Alex a focus, all monies raised will go into the research for a cure for Duchenne."
If you would like to know more about Jack, his condition and the charity you can at www.joiningjack.org.uk or if you wish to help you can email Kris directly at k.radlinski@wiganwarriors.com . Kris and forty other people are running the Manchester 10km run on Sunday with all proceeds going directly into the fund.
