A brave young boy who had an infectious smile died surrounded by his family as his "broken" parents pledge to make a difference.
Aaron Wharton was just four years old when his mum Nicola noticed he had a lopsided smile and was being sick. Despite being numerous visits to the doctor, he was eventually diagnosed with Anaplastic Ependymoma during the 2020 lockdown and spent a lot of time in and out of Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
Earlier this year, doctors told the North Wales family that it was a "waiting game" as his health declined, but Aaron remained strong and brave throughout. Tragically, while on holiday in a caravan Aaron loved, he rapidly deteriorated.
