Liam's story

Liam was a cheeky, courageous boy who loved cricket, soccer and his dog, Billy. At six, he was diagnosed with leukaemia, turning his family’s world upside down. The Childhood Cancer Association (CCA) became their lifeline, offering professional counselling, financial aid and vital support.

When Liam’s diagnosis became terminal, CCA’s help was invaluable. “It changes you as a person and a family,” says his mum, Emma.
