Steve is a good friend of Bob Wright. When he heard the story of Bob's youngest son Jacob who passed away from Mitochondrial Disease at just 16 months old in 2012 he wanted to help. The Lily Foundation funds research into treatment and cure, raising awareness and supporting families like Bob's. Every 20 minutes a child is born who will develop the condition before they are 16. Currently there is no cure, its a cruel disease that debilitates peoples lives. In cases like Jacob where it was severe he suffered from cataracts, hearing loss, severe epilepsy and in just 6 months it took away everything he could do including his smile before it took the part of his brain that told him to breathe.
Bob and his wife Claire are determined that Jacobs legacy will be one of hope and this incredible challenge will make sure that this happens. Steve will raise much needed money for research and support but also everytime he wears The Lily Foundation logo he is raising awareness. Without awareness there is no funding, without funding there is no research and without research there will be no cure.
Bob and Claire can't thank Steve enough - please donate if you can.
