Story

Antonio 'Jacko' Giacchino was loved in many different ways by many different people. He was a son, a brother, a husband, a uncle, a colleague and a friend. Most of all for anyone who was lucky enough to have met Jacko he was a kind, caring and friendly person who always greeted you with a smile. Jacko will be sorely missed by all.

Antonio unfortunately suffered from a rare autoimmune condition called dermatomyositis with associated interstitial lung disease. With Antonio's condition being rare there is currently limited research to support diagnosis and treatments.

This just giving page has been set up in loving memory of Antonio 'Jacko' Giacchino as a way for those that knew him to offer a donation to commemorate his life and for others to at the very least offer a donation towards a very worthy cause. 

All funds raised through this JustGiving page will be securely donated directly to Myositis UK. Myositis UK is a small national charity that provides information to patients like Antonio that have been affected by myositis. Myositis UK also provides vital funding into research to improve diagnosis and treatments.

In loving memory of Antonio 'Jacko' Giacchino. 10th May 1986 - 27th October 2021.
