Alex McCarthy
Campaign by Young Lives vs Cancer (RCN 1107328 and SC039857)
My son, Alex, was diagnosed with Cancer in his brain (a glioblastoma) back in December 2016 when he was aged 12.

Story

In December 2017, just two weeks before his 14th birthday and 2 days before Christmas, my eldest grandson Alex lost his fight against Stage 4 Brain Cancer. He fought a very brave fight and spent his final few months filled with life events from his “bucket list”. He was positive & happy despite all that life had thrown at him as well as humble & thoughtful of others to the last, a real inspiration in a cynical world.

 As a family & with great friends we are continuing his fight against cancer, running & riding to raise money for CLIC Sargent to help other children faced with life threating situations and to try & find a cure. 

This is my opportunity to give a little back to the charity that has been such a big help to Alex and our family, and to help them continue to support other children and their families affected by cancer and fighting for their future.
