Charity Clic Sargent help parents looking after children with cancer. They pay for things like travel costs to and from the hospital and offer emotional support. This year ITV’s Text Santa are hoping to raise millions for the charity among others.
One little boy they recently helped by Clic Sargent was 7 year old triplet Parker Hawe. He was diagnosed with leukaemia when he was just 4 years old. Read his story below.
Parker at the start of his treatment
Parker is one of three lively triplets from Lancashire – who don’t like to sit still. But a few years ago he was fighting for his life after being diagnosed with leukaemia when he was just four years old.
His mother Tracy said her world crumbled when she got the news adding, “You just think it’s a death sentence really. The day we found out we just dropped everything and were in the hospital for three weeks”
Parker and his brothers.
Parker and his family were looked after by a charity called Clic Sargent who specialise in helping families with a child with cancer from things like paying for travel to appointments and helping children understand what they’re going through.
Parker is two and a half years through his treatment for cancer of the blood. And after a tough couple of years he recently got some good news that the cancer is gone and there’s a 95% chance it won’t come back.
