An 18-month baby with cancer is “fighting a battle that no child should have to fight”, according to his dad.
Alex Burke was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive and rare type of cancer that mostly affects babies and young children, back in April. This type of cancer spreads everywhere with tumours wrapping around key parts of his body.
Crumlin Children's Hospital is currently taking care of Alex and treating his cancer. Daniel Burke, along with family and friends, is organising a series of events to help raise money as a way to ease the financial burden that comes along with cancer.
