Charity supported by some of rugby's biggest names receives star award

A charity has helped transform the support available for families across the UK - thanks to backing from big stars and residents across Wigan.

Charity Joining Jack has helped raise vital funds and awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, thanks to its figurehead, Jack Johnson, and his family. Over the years, the charity has seen support from sports stars such as Sam Tomkins and Owen Farrell, with the fingered joining symbol made famous by many top level rugby stars helping bring the charity to the nation's attention.

Jack and his family were all in attendance at Wigan Town Hall today (March 6) as they received a star on the Believe Square walk of fame.
