A Leeds mum has spoken out about her shock and devastation after the death of her five-year-old son just two weeks after he was diagnosed with a rare condition.
Zac Saunders was born in 2011 to Mary Holmes, who lived in Garforth at the time. Zac, nicknamed Z-Man, was born with several complex needs and disabilities, which Mary said could be best described as akin to Cerebral Palsy.
Though they knew his needs were complex, Mary and her family were left shocked and heartbroken when Zac tragically died just a month after his fifth birthday in 2016. In the years since, Mary has put her efforts into fundraising for the charities that helped Zac and other bereaved parents.
