JAM Fund and Leeds Rhinos
support children's wards at L.G.I.
JAM Fund treasurer (and Jamie's Grandad) Gary Wilks
was pleased to hand the staff of Leeds General Infirmary
children's wards, two Masimo blood monitors which
cost £16,000. These state of the art monitors
allow blood counts to be measured without the need
for invasive surgery or needles, cutting down on
the risk of infection and help children at the same
time. The monitors also significantly reduce the
amount of blood transfusions required and the staff
were very pleased to take delivery of the items
not in the hospital's budget!
Accompanying Gary were two of the Leeds Rhinos
Rugby League team, Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Danny
Buderus, our thanks to the boys for showing their
support and to all those who have donated to the
charity making this possible.

hugely enjoyable and exhilarating. Please see some

Yorkshire
fundraisers raise £2,000 for JAM Fund
Two charity boxing events held in Yorkshire have
raised £2,000 for the charity as well as thousands
more for other charities. Leeds based boxing promoter
Mr Gary Atkin, a family friend who knew Jamie personally,
organised the very successful events to help several
charitable organisations.
In September 2009,Gary brought none other than Sugar
Ray Leonard to the Queen's Hotel in Leeds and in
March 2010 Mike Tyson visited Leeds United's Elland
Road ground.
Both of these events proved highly successful and
were covered by the Yorkshire press and television
news.
A huge thank you to Gary Atkin and all
those involved in these high profile events which
proved wonderfully successful and helped the JAM
Fund and other charities.

WHEELCHAIR MINIBUS
HANDED
TO MARTIN HOUSE HOSPICE
The
JAM Fund was delighted to hand the keys to a brand
new wheelchair adapted Renault Master minibus to
Martin House children's hospice in October 2008.
The minibus keys were handed to Martin House representative
Stuart Andrew, by Leeds Rhinos Rugby League team
coach Brian Mclellan. also pictured in attendance
are Jam Fund treasurer (and Jamie's grandad) Gary
Wilks with family friend and supporter Gary Atkin.
The funds for the minibus were raised by the 2007
JAM Fund Cardiff half marathon team along with the
people of Yorkshire (where Martin House is situated)
who have collectively raised thousands of pounds
for our charity.
Paul Adamson, JAM Fund chairman would like to thank
everybody concerned with this wonderful achievement
and to Gary Wilks and Mike Jones of Wigan car sales
for arranging the delivery of the vehicle to Martin
House. The mainstay of support for the charity are
the South Wales and Yorkshire areas where Jamie's
family and friends are based. The minibus has been
donated to the Hospice as a thank you to the people
of Yorkshire for their continuing and much valued
support as the charity also runs the Jamie Adamson
Static caravan holiday home which is situated in
South Wales but used by poorly children from all
over the UK free of charge for respite holidays.
The charity would also like to Thank Brian for taking
time out from his busy schedule with the Rhinos
to hand over the minibus and for kindly donating
a signed training top for auction.

"1940s revisited
JAM Fund style"
In July 2006 The Jam Fund held a 1940s themed Summer
vening Ball. This was held at Barry Memorial Hall and
was attended by the Royal Navy,RAF and Welsh Guards.
Over 200 people attended the event, entertainment was
provided by the Swansea based big band "Swingshift"
who played Glenn Millar and blues music and by the "Hoppin
Mad" Jive and swing dancers, who were amazing and
also gave demonstrations and info on how the style of
dancing in the 1940s had evolved. The Welsh museum also
provided props from the era and there were even 1940s
newspapers and "black market chocolate" on
the tables!
Thanks to everyone who
attended to show their support!
