Coincidentally and sadly, we've had a similar story going on in Holland, with a boy (Tijn Kolsteren) suffering from terminal brain cancer raising money for charity: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/24/terminally-ill-dutch-child-raises-2m-with-nail-painting-challenge

 

Tijn has died aged 6 last night. Such a horrible, horrible disease.

 

My old teacher's granddaughter had the same thing (DIPG), it's devastating and such an aggressive disease

Sad news, just as it is when any child dies. It's obviously no consolation but at least he spent his short life enjoying some incredible things that most can only dream of.

Poor thing. Couldn't imagine having to watch your child go through that. I'm glad the footballing world made it easier for them all.

 

When I was struggling on the second day of the castles to coast last weekend I just remembered what him and other kids are going through, the fight they've had to show and for me to stop being a right fanny and to craic on up that hill. It's little inspirations like that which normally would never resonate with me and why I think it's touched many in different ways apart from the obvious.

 

RIP little man, you fought it all the way.

As a parent, it's unfathomable. RIP little dude.

 

Yeah. My thoughts go to his parents and family who seem to have been solid as a rock. Defo has rightly had a lot of praise for how he's befriended and been there for Bradley throughout all of this, but his parents have to be given huge praise too. I can't imagine having to go through what they've went through if my own little boy had been in a similar situation.

 

RIP Bradley.
