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

And rubie was one of them 😢

Rubie spent 16 years of her life battling Pyruvate Dehydrogenes Deficiency. She fought so hard throughout her life she amazed us all. She made us proud every single day and no matter what she had a beautiful smile on her face!! She is very much loved and will always be remembered for her fighting spirit and her sass and the occasional ✌️ There definitely will never be another rubie ❤️

The love and support the staff at rainbows gave rubie and our family has been amazing they really are special people and do fantastic jobs so me doing this skydive is our way of saying thank you 🌈

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.

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 child's face as they laugh and play.

Please help the team brighten short lives - thank you
