No stranger to the Fight To End Cancer, Jay is extremely honoured to be attending and contributing to the cause.

“I lost my father, my mother, both uncles and an aunt, a business partner, several staff and many friends to cancer.

It is something that affects all of us and whatever we can do to play a part in finding a cure to end this horrible disease we must do it!

I started a program four years ago called “kids being Kids” a program which is free for kids and their families affected by cancer.

Of all the things I do all over the world, the event we do several times a year is one of the most rewarding and at the same time sad and fun, empowering these young kids who are really our true heroes and giving them some opportunities just to be kids and have fun .”
