Final effort for autistic Jude
By Claire Lomax
Comment
Jemma and son Jude
Jemma and son Jude
A single mother is making a final fundraising push to enable her autistic son to undergo specialist therapy in the US in the hope she will finally hear him say mummy'.
Already Jemma Barker, 25, has succeeded in raising £8,200 with the help of friends, family and kindhearted people in Bradford.
Now she needs to find a further £1,800 to pay for four-year-old Jude to go through the radical programme of therapy in the US and to complete a special playroom at their home in Great Horton, for the work to continue on the family's return.
Jude has severe autism, which was diagnosed at the age of two and cannot talk or communicate and lives life in a bubble'.
He is unable to play or see the world as other little boys do and is upset easily if places are too noisy or busy.
Miss Barker and Jude are due to travel to the Son-Rise Institute in Massachusetts on April 28 for intensive therapy which aims to reverse some of the effects of autism.
 
Thanks to the fundraising efforts so far Miss Barker has bought a portable building for the garden of her house which will be used as a specialist playroom where the techniques taught by the programme will be put into practice.
Miss Barker said: "I need the last £1,800 to pay for the actual trip to the USA. The flights have been a nightmare to get, but I have a travel agent who has been wonderful and sorted it out for me.
"I got a decent quote of £1,200 for me, Jude and my friend to go, but the later I leave it to pay, the more expensive it will be."
 
Miss Barker said she had been astounded by the response to her fundraising appeal and particularly thanked Mick Couzens, community development worker for Bradford Park Avenue, whose efforts have raised more than £1,000 for Jude.

Bradford (Park Avenue) Ex-players survived a late comeback to beat Leeds United Ex-players 3-2.
Two notable names in the same team were Neil Aspin and Vince Brockie. The latter is obviously the manager of Harrogate Town and the other Harrogate Railway. The pair were in opposite dugouts for their recent FA Cup game. While Vinnie was seen on BBC Match of the Day yesterday

Avenue went ahead in the first half thanks to a goal from Neil Redfearn. The game looked dead and buried midway through the second half when Nicky Hey scored twice. However in the last 15 minutes, Leeds pulled one back through Andy Richie the Huddersfield Town Manager and then within minutes Neil Aspin launched a goal bound assault from the halfway and coolly scored. Avenue held on though but remember the result didn’t matter because the game was all for charity.

BPA EX-PLAYERS: Stephen Ball gk, Nicky Hey, Joe Richardson, John Francis, Phil Sharpe, Mark Hancock, Neil Redfearn, Clive Freeman, Andy Hayward, Dean Calcutt, Neil Grayston, Wayne Benn, Tony Brown, Bobby Barr, Dave Morgan.

LEEDS UNITED EX-PLAYERS: Jordan Yorath gk, Neil Aspin,Bobby Mcdonald,Ian Snodin, Brendon Ormsby, Neil Parsley, John Stiles, Vince Brockie, Nigel Thompson, Andy Ritchie, Bobby Davison. subs: Peter Lorimer, Bobby Shields

For the Charity football match I would like to thank everyone who gave up their time to volunteer such as the catering/bar staff, stewards, gate men etc., A special mention must be made for Clive Freeman and Brendon Ormsby who orgainised the respective Avenue and Leeds teams. THANK YOU!!!!

Although the crowd was very poor, it was a brilliant day with proceeds going to 4 year old Jude whose mum Jemma is trying to raise £10,000 to take her severly autistic boy to the USA for specialist treatment in April 2008.

Once again, Jemma's speech in the Social Club afterwards reduced everyone to tears.......... The kidney dialisis unit at Leeds General Infirmary also benefited from the Charity match. Thanks again to everyone who contributed to a brilliant day!!!!!
