Archie passed away on Wednesday 13th June 2018 aged 2 years and 10 months, with his Mummy and Daddy lying in bed with him, holding his little hands. They read him his two favourite bedtime stories and at the end he opened his eyes, they squeezed his hands, told him they loved him and he just stopped breathing.
Archie fought like a lion over the previous ten months (we all did), but some fights cant be won no matter how much you give. If only they could
Archie had been fighting high risk neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer since his second birthday. At diagnosis, scans showed that it was in all the long bones in his body, his skull and his bone marrow, and he was given a 50% chance of survival.
Archie was the most remarkable little boy hilariously funny, kind, absolutely beautiful and brave far beyond his years. His Grandad always described him as a masterpiece. He was right.
