Story

In memory of our beloved son Jax, we are fundraising for The Brightest Star Charity.

Jax died from SIDS at 6 weeks and 3 days old.

There are no words that can describe the pain, horror, shock or trauma that came into our lives the night Jax died. During those initial dark moments, The Brightest Star Charity provided us with support, love and compassion. The bereavement counselling and memory boxes they provided have been truly invaluable. Our goal is to give back to Brightest Star and ensure other families facing similar heartbreak can find support.

Every £40 raised will provide a bereaved family with 1 hour of counselling.

Every £70 raised will provide a memory box for a family in their darkest hour.

The memory box we received contained two teddies (one for us which we sleep with every night and one with Jax), beautiful framed casts of Jax's hands and feet along with hand and feet prints, a small secure box with a lock of Jax's hair and a silver charm with Jax's hand print on it.

We are truly grateful and touched, not only to Brightest Star, but also to our family and friends for the support we have received so far.

Thank you to everyone from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of this journey.

All our love,

Jax's Mummy and Daddy
