Rainbows Hospice has been supporting and continues to support the care of our best friend’s son, Jesse.

Jesse was diagnosed with severe Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), due to problems during labour. Jesse had a very difficult start in life, but he continues to fight against the odds and recently celebrated his 1st birthday.

The care and support Jesse, Katie and Sam (Jesse’s parents) and Evie (Jesse’s big sister) receive from Rainbows Hospice has really helped them through the most difficult times.

Sam and Chris, with the huge support from family and friends will be carrying out various fundraisers to raise as much money as possible for Rainbows Hospice.

Team Rainbows are running together in the most iconic marathon in the world.

Sadly, some children just don't live long enough.

As the East Midlands only hospice for children and young people, Rainbows is a place where life-limited children and their families can find care and support. Our incredible team of people help relieve symptoms, improve quality of life, support parents and siblings through their bereavements and care for children until the end.

Please visit www.rainbows.co.uk to see what we do and hear from some of the families that we support.

Rainbows is a place where children can laugh, play and make every precious moment count, while families already bereaved are supported through the toughest times. Because of you and other supporters like you, a family will be able to make special memories they will cherish forever and bring a smile to their childs face as they laugh and play.

Please help the team brighten short lives - thank you
