Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Jacob Nicholas Wright was born on the 6th December 2010. He was the most beautiful boy anyone had ever seen. Jacob experianced many health problems in his life and after 5 months of tests and trips to Hospital in Febuary 2012 the Dr's told us he had Leigh's Disease. This is a little know Mitochondrial Disease, which meant the Mitochondria or Batteries in Jacob's brain cells were not working and we were told he would not have long to live.

Jacob died on the 20th April 2012 peacefuly in his mummy's arms with his daddy holding his hand.

Jacob was extrodinary, and his mummy, daddy and whole family are greatful everyday for having him there lives. He taught so many people so much and was the bravest, kindest, snuggleyest little boy you could ever meet.

His death has effected us all in ways we can not really describe, but the people at the EACH Milton Hospice made it more bareable. Jacob was cared for at the hospice for 10 days after he died, so we could all say goodye properly. They also cared and still care for us. Every parent who looses a child should be given the opertunity to stay with them in a warm freindly enviroment untill their funeral. A parents job is to care for their child, and that should be to the last goodbye.
