The touching moment a young boy with cancer cheers on Wales from his hospital bed

A heart-warming video shows a cancer-fighting toddler cheering on Wales from his hospital bed. The touching video was shared on TikTok by two-year-old Morgan's mum Natalie Ridler on Sunday, June 5 as Wales played against Ukraine in Cardiff.

Morgan, from Swansea, was diagnosed with a rare and complex form of cancer in October 2021 called adrenocortical carcinoma. On her TikTok account called @Nataliemelfa, Natalie regularly posts about Morgan's journey to raise awareness and update followers.

During the match, she took a clip of Morgan sitting upright in his hospital bed watching eagerly as Wales captain Gareth Bale walks across the pitch. "Dere'mlaen Cymru, Come on Wales!", she wrote over the clip, captioning it as "Cheering on Wales from the hospital room!"
