months old. He was born with cancer behind the eye and endured months of chemotherapy and radiation. It eventually spread to his brain and tumours grew out of control there. The radiation burnt his skin and he was never free from pain from the day he was born. My brother and his wife have done so much good in his name - making people aware of childhood cancers and raising money to support families who are unable to pay hospital bills etc. They also run bone marrow donation awareness functions and have helped to make us aware of how many of these cancerous monsters are lurking out there.

As a family we are determined not to let his death be in vain. I promised I would not. On 8th February, please could I ask all Cuties to either:

Pray for children who are fighting monsters.
Pay a kindness forward In Declan's name.
Make a donation to a cancer-related organisation.

Thank you in advance. By doing this, our babies' suffering would not have been in vain. We believe he was an angel sent from above to make us aware of this disease in children so that we can help.

You will be helping me to fulfil a promise I made to him.
