Joey's mum Linzi McKimma was over the moon at Jordan's kind-hearted gesture, with CHAS 'holding a special place in her heart'. Speaking to the Record, Jordan said: "It was a really emotional night and we had music playing, a snow machine, a mobile sweet shop and I arranged for the local fire brigade to come along and drive by with their lights flashing.
Joey, born in December 2013, developed normally up until he was five-months-old when his progress slowed and motor skills stopped. Doctors then diagnosed him with Krabbe disease at Glasgow’s Yorkhill Hospital in September 2014. "When Joey was ill, CHAS would take them in and offered my auntie Linzi and Joey a calm place to get away from it all."
