Family of three-year-old who led out Wales team during Six Nations told cancer treatment isn't working

The family of a three-year-old boy with cancer have been told his treatment is not working, with his quality of life now becoming the priority.

Morgan Ridler, the inspiration behind Morgan's Army Charitable Foundation, was diagnosed with a rare and complex form of cancer aged two in October 2021. After relapsing, his parents Natalia and Matthew have now been told his treatment is not working and the focus will move to palliative care.

More than £20,000 has been raised via an online crowdfunding page to help the Swansea family, which also includes Morgan's younger sister Rhiannon, to create special memories together. You can find out more and donate here. Any unused donations will be given to Morgan's Army. It is the charity which Wales Women fundraised for at their Six Nations clash against England in Cardiff in April, where Morgan led the team out with his auntie, Wales lock Natalia John. The charity was set up to support families of children diagnosed with cancer in south Wales. You can find out more via their website.
