Leukaemia last month and is now fighting for his life at St
Bartholomew's Hospital, London.
Jamie, who is originally from Roach, East Tilbury but now lives
in Pitsea, has always been a fan of the likes of Carlton Leach
and celebrity gangster Dave Courtney and plans are being made
for them to visit his bedside.
There will also be an auction of signed merchandise from both
Carlton and Dave with proceeds being donated to the Leukaemia
Awareness Campaign.
Jamie's brother Wesley, 27, of Laburnum Drive, Corringham, said:
"Jamie will be delighted with the association of Carlton and
Dave to this Leukaemia Awareness campaign.
"Jamie is a huge fan of both and this just goes to show you that
these two have an unquestionable heart of gold.
"On behalf of Jamie and the family, we would like to thank them
for their support and will help the event by promoting this to
members of the 'Jamie Saunders Leukaemia Awareness group' on
Facebook."
