Josh Vinter-Jackson, 32, Raises £110,000 as Viral Appeal Fuels Specialist Cancer Care

The campaign aims to pay for specialist drugs outside routine NHS care.

Overview

  • The life coach is living with stage four colon cancer that has spread to his lungs and spine and has restarted chemotherapy after relocating to Newmarket.
  • His GoFundMe climbed to about £110,000 in under a week after surpassing an initial £20,000 target within hours, and he says further funds are needed.
  • High-profile donations and shares from figures including Raymond Blanc, Andrew Lloyd Webber, James Dunmore, Piers Morgan and George Lineker accelerated the fundraising.
  • Scans scheduled for December will determine whether he requires radiotherapy to his vertebrae.
  • The fundraiser outlines costs for self-funded chemotherapy, specialist drugs and adjunct options such as red light therapy and hyperbaric oxygen, as he continues coaching young cancer patients.
