For years 12 year old Jack enjoyed dressing in costume (cosplay) and attending comic con events. In 2019 that stopped when Jack was diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anaemia. A year later he was also diagnosed with Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria.This serious condition affects the body’s ability to make healthy blood which means his bone marrow is empty. So far Jack has received 132 units of blood and platelets. He has become an advocate for global blood donation. Jack was a regular customer at McCullochs Costume in London (his home town). When the costume store learned of Jacks story through through this tv broadcast, they launched the idea of a cosplay driven blood drive to support Jack and his cause. The campaign has gained a life of its own as it continues to grow. The #suitupforjack campaign was created to encourage blood donation to help others and is now happening in 3 countries.

The goal is to promote blood donation so wear any cosplay or superhero costume, T-shirt, hat or anything related to cosplay and donate.Have your picture taken during donation while holding a sign with the hashtag #suitupforjack clearly visible. Post that photo on social media and make sure to include the #suitupforjack hashtag in your post so its gets seen by others. Tag your friends to encourage them to join.
