# Jack Draws Anything

> Jack Draws Anything is the story of Jack Henderson, who at age 6 set out to draw a picture for anyone who donated to Edinburgh's Royal Hospital for Sick Children (via the Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity, then the Sick Kids Friends Foundation). What began as a 14-day fundraiser in March 2011 led to 536 drawings, a published book, international press and continued fundraising with his brothers Toby and Noah. The site archives every drawing, press release, video, award, and the family's account of why they did it.

The site is a Jekyll-built archive maintained by Ed & Rose Henderson (Jack's Dad & Mum). Content is primarily blog posts categorised as `drawing`, `video`, `press-release`, etc. Drawings each have a dedicated page with the picture, the requester, and a short note. The fundraiser's beneficiary is Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity (https://echcharity.org/).
