The Paralympics start in Rio de Janeiro is imminent - but only 12 per cent of the tickets have been sold. It had been looking like the athletes would be competing in near-empty stadiums.

Jack Chew wasn't too happy with that, so he came up with a campaign for people to buy up the spare tickets to distribute for free to local children.

Jack said: 鈥淭he outrage of them competing in empty stadia started this, so we got onto a crowd funding site, and it turns out other people are feeling the same.鈥�

The campaign has started to gather steam, raising 拢3,000 so far. 鈥淓very little helps so we can get as many bums on seats as we can,鈥� added Jack
