Jak's Journey

Jaks passing will not be in vain though as he set out clear requests to help others through Jak's Den. Jak's passing will not be in vain.

Jak's Journey has been continued by fulfilling Jak's wishes of Team Jak supporting children and young people with cancer and those bereaved from Jaks Den HQ, Aberdeen, pop ups and in hosptials and schools💙 Jak's Journey was set up by my beautiful son Jak Trueman in September 2014 after he awoke from a medically induced coma after taking very unwell

with what was diagnosed as Gama Delta T-Cell Lymphoma-a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Sadly after an amazing fight and show of strength courage and determination beyond his years and unending thought for others Jak lost his battle on 2nd February 2015. Jaks Journey page will continue keeping everyone up to date with all Jak's plans and how his family and friends and new Charity Trustees being set up are making Jak's wishes a reality. In the 3 weeks since he was given the terminal diagnosis Jak raised more than £57,000 for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research and we will continue to support this Charity whilst realising Jak's wishes. To find out more about Jak's Den and how you can get involved please go to-
www.teamjak.org.uk and the Bank details to contribute to his dreams are above. I'd still have my boy over any of this in a whisper but there is a higher purpose in all of this to touch many lives in so many ways because of my boy and we will make sure many many other children teens and adults are helped because of Jak.

Jak’s Den HQ in Livingston is a very special place where families come from all over Scotland to receive counselling, music therapy, emotional Bag of Worries and Bereavement support sessions aswell as pop ups sessions throughout Scotland, online and in hospital. Team Jak-

This time last week we were about to have our starters at our 11th Jaks Ball💙

This year our theme, as always chosen by Jaks awesome big sis Aimie, was Gatsby and oh my goodness what a theme it was!

So many people entered into the spirit of things and some of the outfits were simply stunning!

The atmosphere was amazing and everyone was so very kind💙

Such an honour to celebrate my boy and raise lots of money to support our inspirational young people with cancer and their families at the same time:)

We are just finalising our amount raised but let’s just say I am a very happy Mumma and TJ CE!

As part of my speech I explained that to run the whole of Team Jak from staff, buildings, outreach, resources, it works out at £250 per HOUR based on a 37.5 hour week!

It’s such a hard climate out there for everyone so we need your help more than ever.

Please consider donating or holding a fundraiser or even doing a challenge or the kiltwalk for us.

Also please share our Team Jak Foundation- Jak's Den posts and encourage folks to give.

If you have a business that might be interested in supporting we’d love to hear from you- let’s keep creating smiles and easing the journey for our inspirational young people with cancer and their families thanks to my beautiful boy 💙❤️

11 years since my beautiful boy breathed his last breath and completed his physical journey on earth. 💔

What a boy and what a legacy he left!

Jak we love and miss you more each and every day, but knowing you are making such a difference to so many definitely gives us all comfort❤️

We love you- fly high beautiful boy -

What an honour to read this today - 3 days short of Jaks 11 year angelversary!

Just after Jak died the fabulous pupils of West Calder High arranged a blood drive with SNBTS.

It was a huge success and I remember some of the pupils whom I’d taught in Primary being so very proud of themselves🤩

And so they should be-the same as our inspirational young people today should be proud of themselves!

We lost count of the number of blood transfusions Jak needed- but without them he would have died much sooner than he did!

Most young people diagnosed with cancer have to receive blood at some point- and to know we have so many young people selflessly thinking of others and giving blood is truly remarkable and hopefully many will now continue to give blood regularly ❤️

Well done and thankyou West Calder High School- and so lovely to see 2 of Jaks teachers Mr Mitchell and Mr Payne being involved also!

If you can give blood please do - as we never know when we might need some!

Thank you again for all your support ❤️🎗️

11 years-
The dreaded day when we were told that was it- ten days later Jak gained his wings 💔
This day doesnt get any easier but the one thing that gives me a glimmer of hope is knowing his legacy is making others lives with childhood cancer a little easier.❤️

Jak I love and miss you more than ever and I’m so proud of you 💙

If you are able to help us continue to create smiles through our angel families appeal in honour of Jak we would be so grateful 💙💜💛

11 years ago and I’m reliving every second of that day- the day our hopes came crashing down- the day Jak turned to me and said “You make sure Star Harmonies continues and you make sure you’re happy again Mum”💔❤️

It’s been an exceptionally tough week as we lost one of our wee warriors whom we have had as part of our TJ family for 3 yrs now.

So if anything, reading this memory means I’m able to empathise even more with our grieving families at this time as I relive that awful day and the days that came after 😞

If you can please donate to our Rainbow Cart and Angel appeal to help us continue my inspirational boys legacy and create smiles and ease the journey for all our inspirational young people and their families affected by cancer 💙💜💛

Jak’s Angelversary Rainbow Cart and Angel Appeal!

It’s 5 days until that day 11 years ago when Jak was meant to start his life saving bone marrow transplant.

Sadly we all know 9 days after that on 2nd February Jak gained his wings 💔

Every year in the run up to Jaks Angelversary on 2nd February we like to support our hospital Rainbow Carts in Glasgow and Edinburgh by providing items for children and young people who will sadly die in hospital to make their room more cosy.

This year as you know we have also been supporting our angel families and any monies raised from this appeal will go to supporting our bereavement programme.

You’ll see our rainbow cart list isn’t as full this year and that’s because we were very kindly gifted boxes of items from Primark East Kilbride thanks to Adam and his team which you can see our staff opening in front of our angel tree.

Thank you so much in advance - and remembering with love our founder and inspiration Jak and all our special angels - one of whom sadly gained their wings just this week 🤍

It was an honour to have a little input to this wonderful film- my boy would’ve been so proud -

I was honoured and privileged to work with the CIN team to create the character of Ellie who has cancer and help ensure the hospital room is similar to that our warriors stay in.

It’s been a privilege - I’m gutted I couldn’t attend the premier last weekend as we had our TJ Carol concert but delighted to have been a teeny part of this amazing animation highlighting the amazing work BBC Children in Need do and thank them once again to their phenomenal support for Team Jak over the last few years also🩷💛

I have my tv set to record but I’ll also be watching - 10.20am this Wednesday Christmas Eve💙

Can’t wait to see the wonderful Thread of Hope💛
