We are raising funds for Children’s Cancer North to help our son Spencer and other children living with cancer.

On 15th October 2020, at just age 6, our son Spencer was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (a cancer of the blood) and our world was turned upside down.

Spencer endured 9 tough months of intense chemotherapy and despite losing his hair and having multiple hospital stays, his bravery and resilience never ceased to amaze us. He always had a smile on his face and took each day as they came, even attending homeschool through lockdown and returned to full time school once schools reopened.

Spencer started his 3 year ‘maintenance stage’ of treatment in March 2021, where he continues to have daily chemotherapy, as well as multiple other medications. We attend hospital visits for further chemotherapy treatment and tests every two weeks and this will continue until March 2024. He will then be almost 10 years old.

Being told your child has cancer is heartbreaking. The last 20 months have been tough, it has been traumatic for us all as a family but Spencer gets us through the toughest of days, he is our little hero and a true inspiration.
