Jack wanted to raise money for the Sick Kids Hospital in Edinburgh where his youngest brother Noah regularly attended with Bronchoilitis. His idea was to draw 'anything' in exchange for donations to the Sick Kids Friends Foundation and he aimed to raise £100. After his idea and website went viral he gained a lot of attention, picture requests and his fundraising total is now in excess of £50,000 (correct as of November 2012).

In 231 days, the East Lothian six–year–old drew 536 pictures, using 314 pens, 162 crayons and 96 pencils on 2144 sheets of paper to complete his marathon drawing task.

He continues to draw now for special occasions and one offs, but nowhere near the volume he did before.

Book
A book of his story and pictures was published by Hodders Childrens Books in 2011, titled Jack Draws Anything.

Awards
Jack and his campaign have won a number of awards for their fundraising and social media activities, including amongst others:
 * Social Campaign of the Year at .net magazine Awards Awards 2011
 * Digital Award at Institute of Fundraising Scotland 2011
 * Child of the Year at Bighearted Scotland Awards 2011

Jack most recently won the Child Fundraiser of the Year at the Pride of Britain Awards 2012 where he received his award from Rolf Harris, whom he drew a picture of on the evening to raise a further £6,000 for his fundraising.

Relocaton
As of October 2012, Jack now lives in Corte Madera, California (just outside San Francisco) with his family.
