Jack Gyde was diagnosed with a Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma earlier this year after mom Sarah noticed him limping.
Community carer Sarah and her colleagues at Brunelcare immediately began fundraising - aiming to raise $322,896 for maintenance treatment to avoid a relapse that is not currently available in the UK. The care team at Brunelcare have been donating funds to ‘Jack’s Journey’ to raise money for Jack to receive life-prolonging treatment in America. Now local Bristol legend Daz Sims has released a charity single entitled Cowboy Jack - which debuted at 28 on the iTunes chart.

(Brunelcare via SWNS) The family from Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset urgently need help to download the single by midnight on Thursday to propel it into the UK Official Top 40 and keep it there. A Brunelcare spokesperson said: "Every download of "Cowboy Jack" supports fundraising efforts for 5-year-old Jack Gyde, who is battling stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma.
"Jack urgently needs lifesaving treatment in the US, which costs $322,896. "Your simple act of downloading this song can make a world of difference." Jack said: “I hope I get well soon.
I miss going to school and playing with my friends.” Mandy Curran, Brunelcare Operations Manager, commented: “We are wishing Jack a speedy recovery. "Our Somerset team is united in support of Sarah and Jack.
"Contributions to his GoFundMe page and participation in fundraising events demonstrate our commitment. "Sarah is a fantastic carer and valued team member, and we look forward to her return.” Jack was diagnosed with Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma cancer earlier this year.
(Brunelcare via SWNS) Jack is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with surgery and a stem cell transplant planned. If Jack’s NHS treatment is successful, he has a 40-50% chance of survival. However, if he relapses, his chances drop to just 5%.
The funds raised will support additional maintenance treatment in the US to reduce the risk of relapse and improve his chances of survival. Sarah shared their journey: “It was the middle of January 2024 when I noticed Jack limping. After several doctor visits and an eventual trip to A&E, tests revealed a tumor above his right kidney.
''On February 15th, Jack was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma. We were devastated.” To donate to Jack’s Journey visit the .
