Mum's plea to make lasting memories with 'superhero' son

An "incredible little boy" has run out of treatment options as he continues to fight a gruelling illness.

Nicola Wharton noticed her son Aaron had a "lopsided" face when he tried to smile and tests eventually showed he had a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. At the age of four, Aaron was diagnosed with Aanaplastic Ependymoma.

Now aged seven, Aaron has spent much of his young life in and out of Alder Hey Children's Hospital and the Wrexham Maelor hospital. The North Wales family were given the devastating news the youngster's cancer had returned in 2021, but there was further heartbreak when they were told Aaron would have to be placed into palliative care.
