Models are to strut their stuff down the ‘Jack Walk’ later this year to raise the final cash needed to send an Almondback boy for life-changing surgery.
Businesses from across Perth got together to plan a fund-raising event for Jack McNaughton at The Loft Nightclub on South Street on October 30.
Jack, who turns three next month, was born with cerebral palsy and has yet to take his first steps unaided. As he grows, he has to endure increasing pain in his limbs.
Parents Stacy and Graham worked tirelessly to find a doctor who could help and hope came in the form of a £40,000 trip to St Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri, USA.
Jack will be able to undertake the journey in November thanks to the generosity of the community, with around £35,000 being raised since April.
Stacy said the fashion show would be the “perfect finale” to an amazing fund-raising campaign.
“We’ve been approached by lots of local shops who are going to provide all the clothing and footwear for the night — it’s going to be amazing.
“I have to say a special thanks to Lori and Kerry at Eva Lucia for all their help in organising ‘Jack Walk’. Their shoes are going to set the runway on fire!”
Staff at The Loft presented Jack with a cheque for £350, raised during a Moulin Rouge-themed collection night.
A total of 400 tickets are available for the fashion show, at a cost of £15 (VIP £20). Call 07936 118865 for details.
