Support Emily’s 400-Mile Ride for The Jack Stone Foundation

Thank you for visiting our GoFundMe page.

We’d like to share the story behind a very special cause: The Jack Stone Foundation, a new charity founded in loving memory of Jack Stone, who tragically passed away in June last year after a courageous 6-year battle with osteosarcoma. Jack was just 19 years old.

The Jack Stone Foundation is dedicated to supporting children battling cancer by providing them with an outlet for their emotions through music and writing. We believe that creative expression is a powerful tool for helping young patients process their emotions, build resilience, and find joy during their treatment journey.

Beyond supporting young patients directly, we are committed to raising awareness of the emotional and social impact of cancer and its treatment. Through school visits and educational talks, we aim to help children understand the side effects, isolation, and difficulties their peers with cancer experience. By fostering greater awareness and empathy, we strive to make the transition back to school easier for children undergoing treatment. Our message is simple: “It’s okay to look different – different is beautiful.”

As the launch of The Jack Stone Foundation approaches, we’re proud to announce an inspiring challenge that captures the heart of our mission.

Emily, Jack’s sister, will embark on a 10-day, 400-mile cycling journey across the south of the UK, visiting all 15 hospitals, centres, and hospices where Jack received care during his 6-year battle.

This ride is not just a tribute—it’s a powerful statement of hope, remembrance, and commitment to helping other children that are living with Cancer.

To make this journey possible, Emily needs a high-quality road bike (approximately £2,000), along with support for accommodation and essential gear. All funds raised will go towards these expenses, and any surplus will be directed straight into the foundation to support our ongoing work.

We’re seeking business sponsors to support Emily and help cover the cost of her bike and associated ride expenses.

In return for your sponsorship your logo will be proudly displayed on Emily’s cycling tops throughout the entire 400-mile journey.

Personal donations are more than welcome too and will be very much appreciated.

The Jack Stone Foundation was submitted to the Charity Commission in early April and now has been approved as a registered charity! Charity No- 1213796

If you would like to register your interest or discuss sponsorship options, please get in touch with us via the email provided on the social media platforms.

Thank you for your support in helping us honour Jack’s legacy and empower young people living with cancer.
