Parents of terminally ill boy Morgan Ridler issue heartbreaking update as they prepare to move to hospice

The parents of a three-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer have issued the heartbreaking update that he will be moved to a hospice imminently. Morgan Ridler was diagnosed with a rare and complex form of cancer in October 2021 at the age of just two.

After a relapse, his parents Natalie and Matthew were told his treatment was not working and the focus would move to palliative care. The youngster is the inspiration behind Morgan's Army Charitable Foundation which has the slogan No One Fights Alone.

Speaking to WalesOnline in December 2021, Natalie and her husband Matt said they noticed something might be wrong with Morgan in April that year when he started to gain weight and develop issues with his tummy. A scan at Morriston Hospital found that Morgan had adrenal cortex cancer. The odds of getting the condition are less than one in a million and his parents believe he is the only child in the UK with it.
