A mum said her son "touched thousands of hearts" before he died following a battle with cancer.
Jayden Lamerton, was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour on January 5, 2023, after being taken to hospital when his parents noticed his eye had "suddenly turned inwards" in December 2022. The little boy, who was a Liverpool supporter, was diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma - a highly aggressive brain tumour that is very hard to treat - and he was given nine months to one year to live.
On Tuesday, May 23, Jayden's mum Chelsea issued an update on the Jayden's army Facebook group, to announce he had died. In a post last night Chelsea said that she wants to set up a charity in his name to "hopefully one day find a cure so that no child has to go through this ever again".
