Family of three-year-old with cancer 'forever grateful' after getting touching letter addressed to 'somewhere in Swansea'

The family of a three-year-old with cancer have said they are "forever grateful" after a letter from a complete stranger arrived despite it not having their address on it. 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, Natalie and Matthew, from Swansea, have now been told his treatment is not working and the focus will move to palliative care. In a heartbreaking update shared this week they revealed that quality of life would now be the priority for Morgan, who led out the Wales team during last year's Six Nations match with England.

In a post shared on the Morgan's Army Facebook page on Thursday, dad Matt said the family had come home to find a cheque for £10 for the charity and a letter from an unknown person with the following written on the envelope: "Please Mr Postman, find Mrs Natalie Ridler somewhere in Swansea. Morgan her 4 yr old son has cancer. Please help."
