After a family friend bought one of his drawings for 20p, six-year-old Jack came up with the idea to 'draw anything' in return for donations to the hospital that treats his two-year-old brother. His parents set up a website and thought they might make £100. After two weeks, Jack had over 500 picture requests and had raised over £10,000 for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation. Parents Ed and Rose with Jack, Toby and Noah appeared on the Fern Britton Show and Jack's project was featured on Russell Howard's Good News four times. Coverage by STV news, BBC news, and CBBC Newsround have all helped spread the word about this creative and generous little boy. Jack is slowly but steadily drawing the requested pictures which range from a 'dinosaur diving into a pool of jelly' (#1) to 'my (extremely bald) friend Brian dancing like a crazy man' (#80). He doesn't draw every day, only when he wants to, and his parents estimate that he'll finish at the end of August.

Glasgow's Hospital for Sick Children, first proposed in 1861, was finally declared open in December 1882 and received its first patients the following month. It was granted a royal charter in 1889. Throughout the west of Scotland, from Sutherland to Wigtownshire, it served a desperate need and, with ongoing charitable support, it opened its Dispensary in 1888 and a Country Branch in then rural Drumchapel in 1903. In 1914, the main hospital moved to Yorkhill, a location which became synonymous with the Royal Hospital for Sick Children. At Yorkhill, the hospital advanced innovative and pioneering paediatric care for Scotland's children.
