Story
Harrison’s Mum, Carina has worked at Godstone Farm for over 9 years and so Harrison visited regularly touching the hearts of all the staff and customers who knew him. He was especially cheeky with quick wit and a zest for life. After initially being diagnosed with a brain tumour, whilst in Year 1, his trademark strength and determination enabled him to overcome this. He returned to full-time school with him ringing the bell in March 2021, symbolising he was finally in remission. School life began to return to some form of 'normal' with Harrison attending residentials, pantomime visits, sporting events and school productions, to name just a few. It therefore came as a massive shock, when at the end of Year 5, it was discovered that a more aggressive form of cancer had returned and was tragically terminal. Despite the interventions of medical professionals, Harrison passed away, leaving a huge hole in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him.
Shooting Star Children's Hospices cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families across Surrey and London.
