BATTLING toddler Jack Ramsey will be making the splash of a lifetime thanks to the donation of a family holiday.
The toddler, who celebrated his first birthday in June, will enjoy a holiday at Center Parcs later this year thanks to house sales executive Hannah Sheppard.
As reported, Jack was diagnosed with Wilms' tumour – a type of kidney cancer before he was even a year old.
Following chemotherapy, he underwent surgery earlier this year to remove the tumour and his entire kidney.
He is now in remission, but will need regular check ups for the next two years.
And when Hannah, who works for Linden Homes on its Freshney Green site, heard of the little boy's plight she donated the money she raised in the Humber Half Marathon to Jack.
She embarked on a personal fitness challenge this year after giving up smoking as her new year's resolution.
She raised several hundred pounds in sponsorship from the event, which along with a further donation from Linden Homes, has made the holiday possible.
Mum Jade Melin said: "It has been an extremely anxious time for us all.
"We have spent a lot of time in hospital and while Jack has been recovering at home we haven't been able to go out very much because his immune system has been so weak.
"I was completely surprised when Hannah told us she had been fundraising for Jack, we didn't know she was planning this wonderful gesture and even sponsored her for the half marathon!
"We are so grateful to everyone who has contributed."
As Jack continues to make a good recovery, the family is hoping to make the trip later this year.
Hannah said: "The challenge for me was very fulfilling – both on a personal level and also being able to do something to help Jack and his family."
