Jack's Story

Meet Jack – the first character in the KETCH series.

Jack is like all other boys his age; he gets up every morning, brushes his teeth, has breakfast and goes to school.

Jack’s daily routine, however, is slightly different because he has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. His morning routine may be slightly different to yours. The shoes he wears may differ to yours and the emotions he feels during the day may not be the emotions you feel at school. We are all different and have unique qualities. Let’s embrace what makes us who we are.

Follow a day in the life of Jack and explore how you can show KETCH to your friends and family.
