The Great Jack Run


clip_image002As part of Streetbike’s recent Guy Martin event we supported the Jack ‘9 lives’ McMahon Appeal.
.


Jack’s story really touched one of our customers Peter Hogg who went above & beyond on the night selling large photo prints from his 2011 IOM TT trip to add to the total raised.

But he wanted to do more…

So he’s decided to give up his holiday this year to do a sponsored ride from Streetbike to John O’Groats down to Lands End and finally back to Streetbike.

Jack’s Story…


clip_image002[10]


Jack, 20yrs, has loved motorcycles since  childhood, leading him to his job in bikes at another local dealer and the ownership of a number of bikes.


On a regular ride home after the Swancote meet on 13th July 2011, he was involved in a horrific accident  that almost took his life. He suffered a number of life changing injuries; including the loss of his leg at the scene of the crash.


However, thanks to Jacks strength, tenacity and will to survive he is making a remarkable recovery.

The Jack Appeal aims to raise money to help support Jack and his family.
