Get Jack Back on Track - Jack Parkinson-Blackburn

On Wednesday 19 January 2022 fire ripped through an industrial estate in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, which gutted two warehouses.

Within one warehouse was a small unit that acted as a workshop, and housed the entire racing kit of 21-year-old rising Speedway star Jack Parkinson-Blackburn.

In the blaze, Wakefield-based Jack lost both of his specialist Speedway motorcycles, all of his tools, spares, and racing equipment - valued at around £10,000.

After a successful 2021 season, Jack had just signed to again represent the Belle Vue Colts team in Speedway's National League, racing at Britain's National Speedway Stadium, in Manchester.

The new season begins in March, and Jack faces a desperate race against time to recover from the devastating loss and rebuild new bikes and equipment to be ready to start the new season.

This fundraiser is looking to provide some financial help with the struggle.
