Jack Gyde – SWNSDespite being just 5 years old and suffering from stage 4 brain cancer, an adorable little boy in the UK is climbing the charts with a new song.
Jack Gyde was diagnosed with Stage 4 High-Risk Neuroblastoma earlier this year after his mom Sarah noticed him limping, and a song released to raise money for his treatment has passed Coldplay and Kylie Minogue in online downloads, raising thousands in the process.
A musician from Bristol, Daz Sims, recorded, produced, and released the single entitled Cowboy Jack, and to everyone’s surprise, it debuted at #28 on the iTunes chart. It’s since fallen to 39, but is still above names like Beyonce, Luke Combs, and Coldplay.
But before Jack had his moment in the limelight, his care team and family at a local healthcare facility called Brunelcare had launched a fundraiser to raise money for both the ongoing maintenance of the tumor and a trip to the US for life-extending treatment.
The goal was a quarter million English pounds, amounting to more than $280,000.
“Every download of “Cowboy Jack” supports fundraising efforts for 5-year-old Jack Gyde, who is battling stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma,” a Brunelcare spokesperson said. “Jack urgently needs lifesaving treatment in the US, which costs £250,000. Your simple act of downloading this song can make a world of difference.”

Jack is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with surgery and a stem cell transplant planned. If Jack’s NHS treatment is successful, he has a 40-50% chance of survival. However, if he relapses, his chances drop to just 5%.

The funds raised will support additional maintenance treatment in the US to reduce the risk of relapse and improve his chances of survival. At the moment the fundraiser has reached £141,000, including a £10,400 offload by Daz Sims from his download revenues.
