Last updated 12th Feb 2025
An 11-year-old boy from Cornwall has just started his 12-hour drumming marathon, to raise money for cancer charities.
Jack's mum was sadly diagnosed with cancer last summer, leaving Jack wanting to make a difference.
He has therefore set himself the challenge of drumming for 12 hours to raise money for the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Charity and the Sunrise Appeal.
He is a passionate drummer and musician so has decided to use his talent as a way through this difficult time, while also helping others whose lives have been affected by Cancer.
From 7am today (12 February), Jack will be drumming until 7pm this evening, in the hopes of raising £1000.
