Jack was born with a short femur bone in his right leg. At the age of sixteen he elected to have his leg amputated to above his knee because having a 'straight leg' was a nuisance at his height. He has never looked back since his amputation .

He is a keen swimmer and is currently training with the triathlon squad and disabled team. Jack regularly works out in the gym. He loves water sports which he would like to do more often.
