Brian sent us a letter saying that having seen the website and hearing and reading about Jamie's story, and what we are trying to achieve as a charity that he would be honoured to become a patron and help in any way possible. Brian has appeared in many TV shows inc Coronation St, Emmerdale Casualty and Pobl-Y-Cwm and was also lead singer of the flying pickets group who had a number one hit with "Only you" in the 1980s. Brian describes himself as "infamous" rather than famous and we are grateful that he has agreed to become a JAM Fund patron.

“I’m delighted to be involved with the JAM Fund because I know it makes a real difference to the lives of very brave children and their families. Because it’s a small organisation the funds go straight to help the youngsters who need it most. Out of one family’s tragedy has come a ray of hope.”

Simon who is already a patron of other very worthy charities heard about the Jam-Fund and wanted to show his support, and kindly sent us this letter...

Dear all,

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Jamie when we made a film together for the Welsh Blood Service a few years back - he was a very courageous young man who faced immense challenges with incredible energy and dignity, despite his very young age. It is an honour to be associated with a charity, which not only supports children and their families, but whose founders, in the face of adversity have responded in such a positive and productive way.

Already the charity has donated huge sums to LATCH and CHILDREN WITH LEUKAEMIA which is due, in no small part, to the energy and passion provided by those involved – well done!

I wish you all the best with future endeavours and look forward to hearing of your continued success.

Best Wishes

Simon
