Well that result tops off a great day. Ashley Barnes is Hughie’s favourite player scoring his 100th goal and ending Liverpool’s amazing record! He sent Hughie this message recently ❤️Hughie’s treatment is all on track and some encouraging results today from the hospital too! UTC
Long day at the RMCH today. Lumbar puncture and chemo later so Hughie is nil by mouth. He’s starving as he’s just finished his steroids that make him hungry. He’s watching non stop food videos to pass the time and keep the hunger pangs at bay! Not long to go!! ❤️
Bit of Dad and lad time in Edinburgh whilst the girls are in Cyprus sunning it up! Unfortunately Hughie can’t fly until the end of his treatment so we are making the most of what the UK has to offer and Edinburgh is such a beautiful city.
After a crazy few days I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the kind messages of love and support we have received following Hughie’s recent test results. As he heads into what we hope are the last few months of treatment these results have given him a massive boost ❤️
Whilst on our trip to Devon we visited Putsborough beach shop and cafe which is owned a run by Tony who’s a massive

Getting his first run under his belt this morning since Feb 2020!Hughie was up early and determined to get out this morning to make sure he can run in the hope he can get his and Freddie’s next challenge going over Christmas. So proud of his attitude and determination. My hero ❤️
After a great few days in Edinburgh it’s back to hospital today for chemo. Hughie has handed out books to all the kids on his day ward which had been lovely to see. Here’s Hughie reading “Friends are amazing”to one of his brave hospital friends Blake💚
@RMCH_Ward86
@Ward84dcOpd
Imagine being 12 giving your first school assemblies to 400 children about your inspirational book the day after receiving an honour at the Houses of Parliament from a pussycat doll with your best mate and all whilst fighting cancer. Im in awe of these 2 ❤️
Huge Thank you to the engineering department
@BurnleyCollege
who have offered to make Hughie a protection cover for his port (which is a device under his skin where he receives his chemo) this will hopefully enable him to take part in sports and PE at school. He’s so excited 👏🏻👏🏻
Happy 11th birthday Hughie.The bravest coolest dude in the world. What’s he’s had to put up with in his 10th year shouldn’t have to happen to any child. He inspires me every day with his attitude and what he’s achieved with Freddie will continue help so many. ❤️

After 20 months keeping safe Covid has finally got us! We’re all ok and Hughie is doing fine. My taste and smell has gone so Hughie thought he’d do this little experiment on me! 🧅 🧄 🌶 🍋 Nothing 😂
All done and ready for some scran! Big thank you to the team on
