Unfortunately, due to the rapid progression of Liam’s cancer and the limited treatment options available to him, we were unable to use the money raised as originally intended.
However, this does not mean that the time and effort spent was wasted. The campaign and support we received gave us hope in our darkest of days and allowed Liam to have amazing experiences during his last few months which are now priceless memories to his family and friends.
Now that we have had time to process what has happened to us as a family we really wanted to do something positive in Liam’s name. Not only to keep the memory of him alive through a lasting legacy but also as a way of saying thank you to the community that pulled together and helped us when we needed it the most.
The funds raised will now be used to support children in local community-focused projects and to fund research and awareness of DIPG.
He was a very caring and loving little boy and if he was still here with us I know he would want to help those in need just as the people of Newark tried so hard to help him in his time of need even though the odds were stacked against him.
Little Liam’s Legacy is our way of honouring Liam by ensuring that he leaves behind a legacy of hope and joy and will always be remembered by everyone who knew and loved him, and even by those who never met him but knew of him; the brave little boy who fought like a warrior until the end, always with a smile on his face and love in his heart.
Photos from some of the fundraising events and memorable experiences that Liam had will be added to the full site in the near future. If you would like to add or include any photos of your own, please get in touch.
If anyone is still holding funds raised for the #love4littleliam campaign, please contact us to arrange collection. Thanks.
