Finn’s story

On the 25th of July 2017, just three weeks before his 12th birthday, Finn was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) a brain tumour that is considered terminal on diagnosis.

Imagine being told that your child has cancer, then in the next sentence being told that there is nothing that can be done to save them.

“Take Finn home with this medication and make some memories”, it was as blunt as that.

For the next twelve months, as a family, our lives became almost unbearable;

I say almost because at the centre of it all was Finn, the quiet, polite little boy that never gave up hope.

The boy that gave us strength when we had none and showed us that love and family are all that you need above everything.

The day we told Finn that he had cancer was the only day that I heard him ask “why?”

It was the only day that he looked scared, and the last time that we heard him cry.
