“Any time the family have got left with their son is so precious- Jack came to my wedding last year and was the life and soul of the party.
“He’s just so lovely.”
The event will take place at Bounce House on Jenkin Road.
All money taken on the door, spent on activities and directly donated will be handed to the family to spend on Jack and his time left.
An online Go Fund Me page has already raised £9,000 for the brave little boy, who is due to begin an intensive course of intense radiation and chemotherapy treatment in a bid to shrink his tumour and prolong his life later this month.
