        Feedback from our Clients

        Ollie Young Foundation

        JT Productions are extremely proud to support the Ollie Young Foundation.

        On Thursday 1st December 2011, we were given the devastating news that our son Charlie’s best friend Ollie Young had an inoperable brain tumour. Just 2.5 weeks before this, Ollie and Charlie ( both 5 years old ) were running around our house wrestling on the floor with Jim. Ollie was diagnosed with a Grade IV Glioblastoma Multiforme Brain Tumour and we were told that he only had 2 weeks left to live.

        Our gorgeous Ollie managed to stay with us for 3 months and finally left us on 26th February 2012 just a day before his 6th birthday. He was an extremely special little boy who will be in our hearts forever. His parents Sarah & Simon ( two of our best friends ) decided to set up the Ollie Young Foundation to raise money for research and awareness of Glioblastoma Multiforme Brain Tumours.
