A heartbroken nine-year-old relative of Wanted popstar Tom Parker has launched a fundraising appeal in the hope of finding a cure for the cancer that killed him. Schoolgirl Rosie Parker was "inspired" by the strength of the singer she called 'Uncle Tom' in his 18-month health battle before he passed away in March last year at the age of just 33.
Dad-of-two Tom had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer, called glioblastoma, in October 2020. His death inspired schoolgirl Rosie, who is the daughter of Tom's cousin Leanne Parker, to help continue "Uncle Tom's" legacy.
And now the nine-year-old has organised a 5km charity bike ride in memory of her ‘uncle Tom’ - to raise money for Brain Tumour Research. Her proud mum Leanne Parker, 38, who is the singer’s cousin, said: “Rosie was incredibly upset when Tom died, we all were but she was inspired by his strength.
