Jack Milner: Thousands raised in memory of much-loved Longton man who died aged 28
Chorley town centre car parking: all you need to know about the changes that are on the way next yearAlex Warburton, who organised the event with his partner Dan O’Connor, said: “Jack wanted to spend his energy living his life. He had the mentality he could do anything, absolutely anything and we shared lots of experiences and got up to all sorts together – he was a great friend.
"We wanted to do something that might help other people with muscular dystrophy live their lives the way Jack did, and to fund more research that could help so many people that have to go through the same thing.” On the day there was entertainment from jugglers and performances by local musicians, including some playing songs by Jack’s favourite band Oasis.Many local businesses provided raffle and auction prizes and Blitz nightclub provided the venue free of charge.Jack’s mum Pam, from Longton, said: “We’re so thankful to his friends for organising this, he would have loved it."It’s so nice that they remember him so fondly and wanted to raise money for a good cause.
"Even though he had this horrific condition, he still managed to work as a graphic designer, drive, play in a band and he volunteered at the Royal Preston Hospital, and I want people to know how positive he was.”Money raised from the event will go towards helping scientists find treatments and cures, as well as providing essential support to the 70,000 people in the UK living with muscle-wasting conditions, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
