JUMP Childrens Charity was inspired by Jacob Hawthorn. Jacob was born as a Millenium baby in June 2000 and was diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy in January 2001. His illness had no cure and his family had to face major challenges to come to terms with the impact that the illness would have on Jacobs life span and his abilities to develop and enjoy all the things that other children would.
Jacob's family worked hard to ensure that he was able to enjoy lots of activities and spent a great deal of time taking many photographs and video footage of his day to day activities and adventures, which he loved to look at. Jacob passed away on February 13th 2004 following a special trip to Disneyland Paris to meet all his favourite characters.His photographs and short films have become a lasting tribute to him and recognise his achievements in his short life span, that make his loved ones very proud and smile when they remember him.
This memory of Jacob sums up why the team at JUMP do everything they do for children with life threatening health conditions and will continue to develop the charity to provide ever lasting memories like this for children and their families.
