The foundation was started by his parents to raise funds that will go to helping other family’s faced with similar devastating news.

The funds do not go to medical assistance, but are used to provide families with much needed respite – holidays, trips abroad, mobility aids etc.

The foundation works closely with CLIC Sargent and MACMILLAN Cancer Care for Children.
