Rhian’s Story

“On the 22 February 2012 I tragically lost my baby son, George. He was only 1 year, 1 week and 1 day old. He died after suffering a seizure at home. It was discovered later that George was suffering from Bronchial Pneumonia and Type A Influenza. My husband Paul tragically died 5 days later, he was 33 years old. 2wish was created in their memory and to support other parents who have suddenly suffered bereavement.”
