Dylan James' Story | Stand Up To Cancer

Published 2022-11-04
“After Dylan-James was born it was the happiest I’ve ever been, and we knew how precious he was. He was a real delight and brought so much joy to us as a whole family.”

Alison had previously gone through treatment for ovarian cancer before falling pregnant with her son, Dylan-James. Sadly, at just two years old, Dylan-James was diagnosed with Wilm’s tumour.

Dylan-James died in June 2018.
