Starting as a simple cold in April 2021, his health quickly turned more serious. Despite the efforts of his loving family and even planning groundbreaking treatment in New York, Joseph’s brave battle ended in December 2021, just after Christmas. đź’”

Determined to turn pain into purpose, his family founded Joseph’s Smile, a charity honouring his indomitable spirit and supporting families facing childhood cancer. They’ve raised over ÂŁ180,000 to help children gain access to vital treatments not covered by the NHS. One of their initiatives, the wiggly vest, protects delicate medical lines essential for ongoing treatments.

Join them for “A Celebration of Music” on September 3rd at Swansea Building Society Arena! Hosted by comedian Mike Doyle with special guest Lee Mead, the night promises to be a beacon of hope and unity, with all proceeds supporting childhood cancer research.

Emma and Katy, the driving forces behind the charity, are devoted to spreading awareness. “Kids Get Cancer Too” is their latest campaign, urging everyone to be vigilant about the symptoms and realities of childhood cancers.

Joseph may not be here in person, but his vibrant legacy continues to inspire and shine through the efforts of his loving family. Let’s keep his memory alive by supporting this incredible cause. 🌟
