Support us (Walk the Wight) Say 'yes' to supporting Mountbatten Isle of Wight today. "I’m Jack, 46, husband to Claire, and dad to 13-year-old Connie and six-year-old twins, Arlo and Elba. A mechanical engineer by trade, I’m used to fixing things, creating plans, and solving problems. But seven years ago, I was faced with a problem I couldn’t fix: cancer. "When you get a diagnosis like mine, the world starts saying ‘no’ to you very quickly. No, you can’t keep working. No, we can’t cure this. No, you might not see your children grow up. "When I felt too traumatised by chemotherapy treatment and crippling pain to keep going, I nearly said ‘no’. "But when I met Mountbatten, they said, “Yes, we can do this together,” and I went from barely surviving to living. Your gift today will help Mountbatten say ‘yes’ to more people like me."
